Hi, I live in the uk, and am unable to source any sweatshirts with quilting motives on, any ideas please?
I don't think they're common in the U.S. either. Most of the sweatshirts I have seen like this have had a quilt block or other quilting design appliqued to the surface by the owner. There are quite a few t-shirts with quilting motifs, though. Found this one by Googling:

I haven't seen any sweatshirts either. You could make a block and then applique it onto a sweatshirt.

Thank you.��
I'll take one of each
I have purchased from cafepress and have found they fade badly. Like the others said, I'm make a block and sew to a regular sweatshirt.
Better to do something imperfectly, than nothing perfectly.
Done is better than perfect.
I've found them at the K-Mart stores here in the US. I don't have any trouble with the fading and they last for years. Other than that if you have an embroidery machine make your own. That's what I'm doing now.

Life is a coin. You can spend it any way you wish but you can only spend it once.
You could check at blair.com. I believe they did have sweatshirts a few years back.
There are a few on the site that Prism99 posted. Quite expensive though. I would just make my own.
You reminded me of an old sweatshirt I once had. A quilt block (right side to wrong of shirt) was sewn to the inside of the shirt then quilted. You have to quilt 1/4" around the block design. Turn shirt back out and carefully trim out the sections around the stitching. It gives a stained glass look. I don't have that shirt anymore but maybe someone on this board can explain it better or provide a photo.
Sorry if I confused you.
I'm too blest to be stressed. Amen to that!
