    I'd use the plaid cut on the bias for the sashing and binding and then use the other two for borders. You could also use the lt. blue small print for cornerstones between the sashing if you like cornerstones, or a solid gold. I would use gray thread, the color of the inside of the wheels for appliqueing.
    I love all those trucks! Your colors and the fabrics are perfect! Is this a pattern I could buy somewhere? What is the name of the fabric line? I would love to make this for my 3 yr old GS.

Language is not just "alphabetic" reading, but other indicators of information(paw prints when hunting,street signs, map designations, etc.) This teaches him to observe his environment, and interpret possible information in short-hand form. This takes the quilt from cute to a learning tool. IMHO.
    Good thinking! :thumbup:

    Plaid on the bias. Otherwise it will drive you crazy making sure it's cut and sewn straight. Nice pattern...

    I like the plaid and yes cut carefully or cut on the bias. Dark blue a good fabric print but it would detract from your great blocks.

    Don't know if you will see this but I would match the color that you are sewing around for your applique. I do machine applique all the time and that is what I do I think it looks great. Just my thoughts on it. Also one more vote for the plaid.

    I like the one in the middle with the small cars so it does not take away from the applique.

    Great quilt!! Love the plaid for sashing and would use matching thread for each color in the trucks. Can't wait to see it finished :-D

    Plaid or the black with white line down center sounds good too that SandyL suggested.

    How cute! what is the pattern (or source for pattern) ? I would love to buy it ----

    I like all your sashing choices but agree - would be careful with plaid. I know me - I would get obsessive trying to make the plaids line up across the quilt and down the quilt so it wouldn't be worth it to me . I am trying to conquer this misplaced perfectionism!
