I have read and reread about taking a photo, enlarging it and then somehow piecing fabric to the outline of say a church/bldg creating a block for a quilt. Over the years I have taken pictures of buildings and scenes that mean something to us. Now that I am retired, I want to make those memories into blocks for a quilt. I do not want to just transfer the photo to cloth--I want to actually piece together the structure. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here is just one example. The tree is no problem as I have appliqued several like it but the dimensions needed for the barn would be a problem for me getting the correct perspective. Granted this is a basic rectangle but the majority of photos I have are with detail and landscaping both front and rear.
