I want to make a raffle quilt w/hot air balloons on it. Any ideas on where to find a pattern? I am thinking I may have to make my own applique pattern, which is fine but wanted to explore the resources...you guys!
thanks,Sandy

Have you checked quilterscache.com? One of my favorite sites-you might be able to find a square you could adapt.

I don't know if you do paper piecing but here is a hot air balloon pattern.

Here's a quilt that was made with the paper pieced balloon. Can give you some ideas.
