    No I knew it would be square which is fine for a lap quilt. Just didn't mean to make it so big. Next time I do this I'll scale everything down a bit.

    I didn't use a pattern. You can probably draw it out on graph paper just from my photo.

    The train fabric is actually postcards of trains. It was donated to my charity group so no telling how many years back it goes. I looked for some selvedge info for you, and the only piece of selvedge I have says, "Shamash". That's probably the manufacturer. Maybe you can track some down.

    What a terrific idea! I've often thought of doing that, but I'm glad you showed your wonderful finished work to inspire me!
