Has anyone done a landscape quilt with farm house and buildings
#4
I had a student do one in a pictorial quilt class I taught. There are some nice fabrics available that look like barn board and shingles. She needed two shades of the barn board material, but there was only one available at our LQS.
She ended up tea dying one of the pieces she needed. It shaded it very well.

Thank you for all of the suggestions. I have looked but most times they are trees and general landscape, just will have to look a little better. I have sketched out the buildings and I think I can do it. Will see.

While the link I gave you was done as inch blocks on a grid ... the pieces within each of those inch squares I did somewhat with a paper piece approach. You could take your photo and photocopy, then use sections to PP them. I'll look forward to your progress .... PM me anytime if you want to toss ideas around!
