My brother would love a couch throw made out of Ford gray and red tractor fabric. I have searched high and low and I'm unable to find it. I even emailed a few fabric places and I was told that they don't think any fabric was made of this particular tractor. Have any of you run across this fabric?
The only other thing I can think of to do, is to make a t shirt throw since I can find that tractor on t shirts. However that would get quite spendy to buy new t shirts to make this. Anyone have any used t shirts with this particular tractor on it that they would care to part with reasonably?
Thx, Tiki

can you get a good pic of the tractor and turn it into an applique?? either one big one with a few borders, or repeated on a smaller scale with a border treatment? Like a single irish chain or something on point?

Buy one T-shirt, scan the tractor and print some blocks with the picture on fabric to use as focus pieces in your quilt.
