this is the best place for me to get the information iam requesting. Thank you for all your help and time
you put into helping me with this request.

There's many techniques and styles of landscape quilts and portraits. Do you want realistic or abstract or something in between? Do you want pieced, straight edge, curves, applique turned edge or raw edge? Do you want lots of detail? How big do you want?

I used to have a book, but gave it away and cannot remember the title. You have gotten some wonderful answers. I just looked up some titles and the front covers are gorgeous.
