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.

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!).

What critters (mammal, bird, insect, fish, amphibian, etc) and plants
represent which countries for you???

Bagpipes and tartan for Scotland.

Animal for Scotland - Highland cow.
Plant for Scotland - Thistle

Daffodil for Wales

Animal for Wales - Sheep

Shamrock for Ireland

Object for Ireland - Harp


Bulldog, rose and thatched cottages for England.

I agree

Here in the Midwest U.S., there are a lot of Holstein cows and hogs.

AFAIK there are no reindeer in Greenland -they live in northern
Finland/Norway/Sweden. Greenland has polar bears and seals. And fish.
