    Default Looking for trucks

    I had a special request to make a quilt for a boy who is in love with trucks, mostly semi's and pickups. He's 9yrs old. Most fabric I have seen is for much younger boys. I've looked everywhere I can think of on-line and in fabric stores, but it's all too babyish. Anyone have an idea where I might find something?

    You can always go down to the local truck stop to take pictures and have then at a photo shop printed onto fabric. Maybe find some pictures of actual trucks (like a car brochure). Then makes and interesting blocks such an Irish chain to complete the quilt. Just thinking way outside the box!!

    I found some monster truck fabric at Joann's. Also try fabric.com, they had several last week. Their stock changes almost daily, so keep checking!
