1. traffic (can't find any fabric for this)
2. tomatoes (jersey tomatoes are awesome)
3. jersey shore (but lots of states have beaches/shore)
4. apple pie (then i am just going with an all american theme).

I am really excited about this swap and wanted to send a good number of FQ's in so I could make a cool quilt when I get them in return.

Any opinions/suggestions? Any fabric you have seen that would work ? I have found the apple pies and tomatoes but no "traffic" fabric.

Thanks...
I always think of the seashore, since that is where I go when I am in NJ, so maybe lighthouses, beach scenes, sea shells, beach umbrellas?
