I had briefly thought about making Canada themed quilts, but many of the theme fabrics have beaver, moose, geese or horses on them. I have decided to avoid animals all together. I may use a Maple Leaf block as the label on the back.
I think the Canadian theme is great. The maple leaf, historic places, symbols, etc. (other than animals) would help them get to know their new country.
