This is for the quilters, have you done landscape quilt? waht do I have to take into consideration before I embark my self in this project. i have done very little and easy quilts very simple, one more thing I was watching confetty quilt, the lady uses an adhesive powder, is it any other way to hold the fabric?

If you go to www.edwardrhamilton.com you can find books fairly cheap and no shipping charge. I have bought many quilt books here and purchased a landscape quilting one for around $7. If you get the "Sewing With Nancy" television program, it is her book. I have not started my landscape quilting yet, but I have taken many photographs to show shading and where the sunlight hits the trees. They use a lot of fuzzy cutting for foilage. Yellow markers and black sharpies help in highlighting and shading also. They recommend you do a small project to start out.

I saw the confetti lady and she uses very small pieces. I think it was on one of the sewing shows I watch and I might have taped it. You could check youtube or if you know her name look for it on the internet.

Don't take on too big a project and get overwhelmed. I started with small landscape quilts that I have hanging on the wall. Good luck! Go for it and give it a try.

Cut scrap materials in tiny pieces, using different colors to make the contrast, and then when your pleased with the desing put a black tulle on top and quilt, there is a lady she used a powder to keep the pieces together, later you addd all the emb. that you want
