I like the plaid pattern and my other thought was maybe a bandana pattern fabric in red. It kind of stays withthe theme without screaming "farm!"

I like the wheat (outside) and the plaid tractors (inside). Then you could bind with the red. I don't think you can carry the theme too far.

I'd do a thin row of straw and then one of the ones that has red in it for the outer border.

The other fabrics would make quilt look more "kiddish" to me.

My thoughts exactly!
