but then I never get around to making them. Some of these papers were yellow and crisp. They have been tossed out. Now I have Cuties for inspiration! This brings me to ask a question - a friend of mine who is not a patchworker, has asked me to come up with an idea for her on how to make a quilt for her 4 year old grandson. She has a set of patterns of Antique Cars which she will use to embroider the cars. We will embellish further with patchwork and any other suitable embroidery designs that I come across. Do any of you lovely ladies have any ideas of unusual and eye-catching layouts? At this stage we do not have a colour scheme in mind. I also think I saw some designs of "tracks" or sections of road - but am unsure if it was on this site. It is a pity I did not know this morning that she would ask me to help - because I am going through Designs by Cuties looking for the design " I love to cook with wine - sometimes I put it in the food". I have been though over a hundred pages - does anyone know which page it is on? I saw a project made up with design and would love to use it. Had I known of her request I would have kept an eye open for suitable designs to go with her cars. Many thanks to you all. Coral
Look for the matress sizes too .
I have gained great inspration from here.
Happy quilting.

I gasped when I read that you'd thrown away all those cuttings .. I just cant bring myself to do it, and I love rummaging thru them :)
Not sure I can help with ideas for layouts as I'm a newbie quilter (I am STILL working on my first -- well not really working lol the front is done, but its on hold till I get brave enuf to sandwich all the parts and stitch together - frightened of messing it up lol).
As for the quilt blocks with the roads in DBC, they were done by hightechgrammy. I know she said she was making a quilt so I'm guessing there are 12 blocks, but I only found 11 and I'll post the links to them below. I cant find the cooking with wine design, but I'm sure someone else will find that :) xXx
Didnt take me long at all to be honest as I'd already DL'd the designs and because I dont change the filenames from Cuties, I was able to find the designs by their number using google. Yep, I cheated lol :D xXx
