"fields" from above quilt

Hello girls,

I'm thinking of a new project in which blocks will be something like fields seen from above and the sashing the country roads inbetween. I will also add a little farm. The purpose is to give my little niece a place to play over like those "city traffic" carpets. The idea is to make also little stuffed vegetables to play with. Any idea? Will be better to make "2D" quilted flat veggies or something more realistic ? I saw some Amigurumi veggies but they are crochet ones and I prefer to make something quilty maybe with felt.

Ciao! Apest from Italy

This sounds like a GREAT idea! Last time I flew up to visit my son in Idaho, I thought that the landscape below the plane looked like a wonderful quilt project. I may have to fly up there again soon to refresh my vision. I remember snow-topped mountain ranges; deep green forests with thin, thready roads leading to cleared homesites; fields and farmlands in the valleys (yes, the irrigated circle within the square, someone here described it perfectly); little geometric city areas....oh, and the silvery shining rivers too!

You may have gotten me started on new project, darn you! (just kidding, I really do love getting inspiration from all the RCTQ folks) Keep us posted, I would very much like to see how this turns out.

Girls thanks to everyone! I now have some bright ideas about fields, with the corduroy, the pond with glossy fabric and also the mud outside the farm. I thought also of some green velvet to make grassy parts and I'm still thinking of something like old jeans to make roads. I'm quite excited about starting this project!! it would be nice to swap photos if you do this quilt too! I'll keep you updated.

Thanks again!!
