This a new Construction Quilt Pattern is made with 6 individual vehicles, Backhoe, Dump Truck, Crane, Mixer, Excavator, and a Dozer, each 24x28 inches with a simple sashing to make a twin size quilt. With 3 inch sashing the finished size is 64x85. The perfect quilt for any little boy who like mine can name all the different kinds of vehicles when we pass a building site. These are a few of his favorites.

If you are looking for something a little different I have a dump truck, backhoe, and excavator as a single pattern in my traditional crib and lap sizes.

This pattern is for advanced beginners. You should have some sewing experience. If you can use a rotary cutter, and sew a straight 1/4 inch seam you can put this quilt together.

This is NOT paper piecing. The process looks something like this:

Step 1: The pattern uses charts to explain how many strips to cut in each color for all 6 vehicles. I suggest using a rotary cutter and mat.

Step 2: A set of charts for each vehicle, giving piece lengths that will be alphabetically labeled and set aside. These pieces will be cross cut from the strips from step 1.

Step 3: Sew the vehicle together row by row following a large color pictures that show each piece with its letter designation.

The shaping of the trucks is done with 2 to 3 sizes of half square triangles. They are cut as squares in the step 2, then marked with a sew line corner to corner to be placed on top of a larger piece or square of the same size. Then sewn, trimmed, and flipped. See youtube videos for further explanation, search Counted Quilts.

The pattern also includes sashing, basic quilting, and binding instructions.

The cutting instructions and charts are written for making all 6 vehicles, you will have to do some math if you want to make just one or two of the vehicles, or if you plan to change colors. It can be done, but was not written that way.
