is the only difference between your tractors the colors for each style?? (1 is red,the john deer 1 is green, etc) or is each 1 more different from each other than i can see off hand? Reason I ask, is, I was thinking of doing this for a cousin of mine and if each was a diff pattern, was going to ask for the others.

Thank you, your pattern/quilt is awsome

Sandy from the country...lol
