I found a free applique hot air balloon pattern at this link http://www.freeapplique.com/miscpatterns.html It's so simple that I think you could probably draw your own.

Usually when I want something, I find it with just a quick search of the internet. I really prefer using BING when I'm searching for images.

Elizabeth - I think I have a pattern for one - it's applique and has animals with it I think. I believe it was designed for a baby quilt, but you could adapt it. I've recently moved, but I'll go digging for it, if you haven't found any other leads.

Nancy, I love your ice cream cone quilt! And I'm also glad to know that I'm not the only one who saves cards for inspiration!!

You lucky duck! I sure hope that you like the pattern.

I had another thought today as I was browsing through my greeting card collection--I think that I have save almost every card I've ever received as an adult. Anyway, some of the artwork on them is great inspiration for a quilt design. If you don't have any saved birthday cards, you could just peruse those in a card shop.

Be sure to let us know when your quilt is completed, I'd love to see the photos. By the way, I have a photo of my Ice Cream Cone quilt on my profile.

Thanks for the info. I ordered the book from Amazon..used for ONE PENNY!!! (plus shipping)

There's a really cute one in Eleanor Burns' "Ice Cream Cone Quilt" book. Also, there's one in Mary Lou Weidman's "Quilted Memories Celebrations of Life". Both are fairly easy.

You guys just gotta learn to google! Search "quilt" plus what you're looking for. Go ahead and try it.

I'm looking for a Happy Birthday Quilt Pattern....an easy one!
Thanks.

Anyone have a Hot Air Balloon Quilt Pattern idea out there.
My friend loves hot air balloons and I would love to surprise her by making one for her birthday.
