I am a beginner and I would never even think of doing something like this right now. I know when a quilt is made like a landscape picture, it is according to the artist's eye, not exactly like the picture. This is just my opinion so please take it as such.
To me, the fence leads your eye into the scene of the small house and then the background is muted behind. There are also some small flowering plants in the foreground. The detail in the foreground needs to be emphasized more than the detail around the house. To me, the tree and the flower pot with flowers in the photograph have places where you can see the house through them, rather than hiding the house. The tree that is to the left of the path and in front of the house, needs to be lighter and perhaps have more spaces where the house shows through. What I am trying to say is that depth is created by having more detail in the front of the picture and less in the middle ground and even less in the background of the picture.
Please don't take this as negative or critical although I am trying to give you a critique as my art teachers tried to do with me. I still have a tremendous amount to learn about quilting and you are really, really brave to attempt this. It is a beautiful scene and you are really doing well to try to get it on the face of a quilt. Your colors are beautiful and really, you have the general idea with the detil of the grasses in front. I know you can come to love t his quilt. It's the process sometimes, I think, almost like birthing. Let your frustration work for you. It will be a treasure.
