Oh Shona this is an excellent idea. My brother is a world traveler. He's
in South America again. He's also been to Japan, and all over Europe. I was thinking about amking hime a literal Trip Around the World Trip with each row being something exotic, but I also like your idea of the map. I don't really have any suggestions other than the ones already listed. Just loved your idea for the quilt.

He REALLY likes my NZ critter quilt so I would like to do something similar. My idea is to get a world map panel and surround it with blocks of appliqué critters/plants from around the world; things that are representative of the different countries. For example Australia=kangaroo/koala/eucalyptus, NZ=Kiwi/Silver fern, USA=Golden Eagle/Pine trees (west coast anyway!). What critters (mammal, bird, insect, fish, amphibian, etc) and plants represent which countries for you??? |

AFAIK there are no reindeer in Greenland -they live in northern
Finland/Norway/Sweden. Greenland has polar bears and seals. And fish. Roberta in D "Diana Curtis" wrote in message ... Reindeer would be appropriate for Greenland...
