Since I am using outlines of some of the US states, I thought I could use an outline of Quebec but it has a lot of curves. So I am looking through the dictionary and I come upon this word - QUILT! Duh double time.
For x- x-box, or xylophone, z - zebra naturally, zodiac using the things for their zodiac signs, zoo and zero. For the q- make a small quilt with some favorite quotes on it maybe, quiver for holding arrows.
I know you didn't ask for different things for these letters, but I just thought I would share a few to help maybe.
