first what is the measurement of the quilt you want. go into website or coloring books to look for the trucks and other shapes. you can go to a quilt shop and look for a stripe fabric , plaids and so on. How identical to the picture do you want it???

These are adorable quilts.
I can see why you would want to make them. I made something similar [url]http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-22863-1.htm[url/]
I had gone to the library and got as many books as possible on construction trucks, then simplieifed the sketches and made appliques.
The quilting stitches were free motion, wrench, hammer, nail, pliers, etc.
This may be a possibility if you can't find the fabric.
Good luck. Be sure to show us what you make!

I'm with Barb, as scary as it seems to design your own quilt, this would be a really easy one to design - grab some graph paper and sketch out a general idea of what you want, then find pictures of trucks and such anywere - coloring books (as mentioned), online, your sons favorite books... and blow up the images to fit your general pattern! Trace 'em, cut 'em out, and start going.
It's a really really cute Pottery Barn set. If I wasn't so knee deep in the dinosaur quilt (and my son was all into cars instead of dinosaurs), I'd be making something very similar. Good luck!

I made these quilts for my boys. The pattern is from a book called Play Quilts by Kristin Kolstad Addison. There are movable pieces for hours of fun.

Here's a quilt I made for my grand-nephew Alex for his 2nd birthday. I used Turning Twenty Again pattern, and used all doggie fabrics. Then appliqued "Bow Wow" in some of the spaces. On the back I used a panel I found at my LQS that was perfect for Alex to play on with his little cars. It was a big hit, and he loves it.
