World quilt help

No, they are groupies. The roadies are the crew who set up the stage and
amps and wires and stuff.

Jackalopes.

Har. I was 7 the first time I saw a jackalope. It was so well done, I
thought it was real. My brother got a lot of mileage out of that.

I love peripatus! I would love to find one some day :-) So you know, I did
put one on my NZ critter quilt along with a weta :-)) Can you believe I
forgot to put a kiwi on it!? Ended up quilting little kiwis in the corner
when I realised my mistake

My idea is to get a world map panel and surround it with blocks of
applique 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???

New Zealand: the peripatus (how *could* you leave them out?
they're really cute)

Scotland: the midge.

And what country is that? If you ask a NZer they would probably say
Australia (sorry Shaz!)

Hello all,

I have an idea and thought I might get some ideas from your collective
wisdom.

I have a friend who just loves world maps. He will sit for hours
looking
at
the one hanging on his wall. So I thought it would be fitting to make
him
a
world quilt of sorts. 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!).

I would suggest a bald eagle for the USA, because that's our national
bird, as
opposed to the golden eagle.

Lesseee......For Mexico...a burro, perhaps?

Hi Shirley,

Thanks for the offer!! Let me think on it. One of my ideas was to have a
flag block next to the critter/plant block but I will wait and see how
crowded/sparse things when I have finalised my appliqué choices.

Does he like the flags of countries? I can send you a piece of Canadian

Oh yes, gotta have jackalopes. Last I knew they were in the Adirondacks
though. Have they gone and migrated southwest?

The Land of Dixie, as the locals call it. Southern US of A. But I'm sure
there are variations of rednecks and possums all over the world!
