did you try googling coloring pictures? or finding a coloring book? They make really good applique patterns, especially the beginner ones,

I'm no help on finding patterns, but this sounds like such a cute quilt for a little boy. Share it with us as you work on it.

There are some fabulous fabrics with firetrucks (and other emergency vehicles) on it. You could cut out the preprinted shapes and iron them on with interfacing.

here is a very simplified drawing, you could even omit the ladder.

If you haven't used a coloring page or image before:

Make 3 or 4 copies. Keep one intact for an example and cut out the different components out of the other pages and use them for templates. :D:D:D
