Yes, sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees, or can't see the "q" for the quilts!?! LOL! Funny story! I've had so many I could write a book, but I'd be too embarrassed! At least the light did dawn! Good luck, Patty

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.

It has taken a lot of time to search and I appreciate the ideas. Thank You.
