Map Quilts
I am planning to make a world map quilt for my granddaughter. She wants to be able to mark places she has been (or hopes to go). I have a pattern I can manipulate for size, but will either be a wall hanging or throw. I would love to use silk, but have read that it ravels, so am looking for other luxury fabrics that would work with raw edge applique. Any suggestions?

It would be interesting if you could get different fabrics that in some way represent the different countries and or continents. Of course it will be trickier for smaller countries, bit for the larger countries it would be be neat.
One of my future quilts will be a map of Canada. I will collect different fabrics to represent each province and territory.

here is a free pattern with instructions below it. It is for the US bet you can extrapolate the concept to the world.
