My mother pretty much stuck with the suggested fabrics/colors on the patterns and the ones she did were Amy Sue (that one I finished), Chuggy Choo-Choo and Grandpa's Pony Farm. My dad had a red truck like the one on the pony farm quilt so there was significance there for my "little boy". (He's now 30 yrs. old.) I recently did some repairs to the train one and then tucked it away again--with lots of love!

Nice

I just retrieved the gingham goose patterns that I have among my stash. Granted, the ones I have date back many years and I have no idea what the more recently printed patterns recommend but I'm going to suggest using a product such as Steam a Seam to put some "glue" behind those appliques. They are fairly large and if the edges of the applique fray with use, such as children give those designs, they are going to be in bad repair such as the train one that I had to fix. Take advantage of ways to anchor the designs so they stand the use that children will give them.
