Choo Choo! Hop aboard this friendly train and head off to dreamland. Boys young and old love Trains. This Twin Train Quilt Pattern adds a top and bottom runner of a smaller train to my original Train design. It was made for a customer wanting a twin size train theme for an older boy moving up to his twin bed.
The Train is one of my simplest designs, so you won't mind making it more than once if you wanted to make a twin and baby set. I enjoyed using the bright primary colors on the sample, but I have also made it in 2 shades of the same color. Don't be afraid to get creative with your fabric choices. That is have the fun of getting a pattern instead of a panel, kit, or finished quilt.
The black window is a great place to add a little personalization if you want add baby's name or birthdate.
The main Train is made in the large 48"x56" size image with 12x56 runners for the top and bottom Then black borders.
The pattern lists fabric yardage, then charts for how many strips to cut, and then how many pieces. Once the pieces are cut you follow a full page labeled picture, sewing straight 1/4 inch seams. The shaping is done with quick corner triangles, or the "snowball method". Lay a square on top and sew corner to corner, then trim and flip. Once your triangles are marked you will follow a full page color image of the train with pieces alphabetically labeled. You will assemble the train row by row. Then begin cutting pieces again for the smaller trains.
