Does anyone have any tips? A link? A book you'd recommend?

This is on the Southern Shore of Newfoundland... also known as the Irish Shore in a little place called Tors Cove. We have sat there looking down at the Cribbeys ( that's the name of this tiny spot) and watched whales breach just beyond the headland. It is heaven on earth for me. And very special for my husband as his greatgrandmother was born in Tors Cove.
IF YOU WORK WITH IT LIKE AN OIL PAINTING, YOU WILL START AT THE FURTHEST AWAY . This way forfront is last. Try looking at the photo with this in mind. There are lots of landscape quilt books available. For sure it will need applique and piecing.
