Yes, sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees, or can't see the "q" for the quilts!?! LOL! Funny story! I've had so many I could write a book, but I'd be too embarrassed! At least the light did dawn! Good luck, Patty

Since I am using outlines of some of the US states, I thought I could use an outline of Quebec but it has a lot of curves. So I am looking through the dictionary and I come upon this word - QUILT! Duh double time.

For x- x-box, or xylophone, z - zebra naturally, zodiac using the things for their zodiac signs, zoo and zero. For the q- make a small quilt with some favorite quotes on it maybe, quiver for holding arrows.
I know you didn't ask for different things for these letters, but I just thought I would share a few to help maybe.

I have quail but not quince. I will do yellow and yarn and maybe yam. I also have a yard sale sign and a yo-yo and an egg yolk. I have zipper and zebra also zero, zig-zag and zap. For X I have xyphone, x-ray, xebec (a ship) and a funny bird that starts with an x.
It has taken a lot of time to search and I appreciate the ideas. Thank You.

Zebu for z. It's an animal from Africa.
