Hi! My name is Stella. I am looking for a train quilt pattern for my adult cousin who is dying from cancer. His one request is that I make him a quilt pieced together with a train, tracks and rolling through a city (possibly). He said "you'll figure out how to do it" ... I appreciate his faith in me, but I need some HELP. Is there anyone out there who can direct me to a site where I can find any of these components; I can put them all together at my end.

Thank you all for contributing to this site; I truly enjoy it!

Hello Stella, welcome from Idaho! I don't have any ideas, but I think someone will.

Maybe you could get some ideas from this quilt.

Here is another pattern that needn't be too childish with the right sort of background.

Another one with some elements you might be able to use.

I also like this one a lot and it seems to be suitably masculine.

The pattern at amazon is currently not available, but it looked like a nice pattern.

Yes, I saw that, but I figured it might give the OP some ideas :-) Someone might be able to help her track it down if necessary.

There are lots of train fabrics and patterns at trainfabrics.com.

Hello and Welcome to the board

How is your applique abilities ? I think that would be the best way to go ! Here is a train pattern : http://www.fatcatpatterns.com/Toddler%20Designs.html

The tracks would just be black fabric in strips . Here is a church and some houses : http://www.fatcatpatterns.com/Miscellany%20Designs.html

Good Luck and keep us posted
