Train patch quilt

I purchased the train fabric 3 years ago (I think) at Hobby Lobby so I could make a lap quilt for my husband. Needless to say, I didn't make it three years ago. We decided to do a train theme in my son's "big boy" room, so I spent a few hours piecing the number above. I wanted to break up the train fabric with some conductor hat fabric, but thought it would be overpowering, so I made the 4 patch blocks instead. I LOVE how the top turned out. We will be tying the quilt at his birthday party on the 19th.

Here is a better look at the patches themselves. Isn't the train fabric fabulous?
