Looking for Novelty Fabrics - Help

Hey everyone!
The people at my DH's work loved the baby quilt that I just finished for a guy there. I now have orders for 3 more quilts. One wants go carts, one wants boy John Deere, & the other wants fishing & boats stuff for a girl. The JD isn't too hard to find (just costs a lot) but the other 2 are giving me fits! Can you steer me in the right direction so I can find them?
Thanks so much,
Linda

The 'Lullabies Pink Fish' on that website would be so cute for a little girl. There are several fabrics on there with girly colors in them and you could use girly colored fabrics with them. That a great site.

Man, that bugfabric place has some pretty stuff! Thanks.
I've googled but seems like every place has pretty much the same thing. I got some fish fabric & John Deere fabric at Wal Mart. I've only found one place with go cart fabric. I may have to talk the guy into using the "Cars" fabric.
Thanks to all of you.

Don't know if this would be what you are looking for...it looks more like old race cars, but you could check it out...
