You might want to check your library, LQS, or book store for books on landscape quilting.You could also do a web search for tutorials or videos. There are many techniques out there. The first one that came to my mind was fusible web, but that's just me.
|
It depends on if you want to piece the 2 fabrics together or needle turn or fusible applique them.
|
There are quite a few youtube videos that might help you. It's kind of hard to describe something in a posting here. Look through this google search and watch a few and hopefully get the idea. https://www.google.ca/search?q=lands...N43YoASe64HwAQ

I'm working on a scenic quilt in my mind (mostly what size. The blocks are designed). I will take the photos I took of the objects I wish to applique and cut them as applique with my Silhouette. I will just find some gradient sky and land fabric and applique those together.
|
You can lay the fabric edges over lapping each other (right sides together) and cut a gentle curving across the two fabrics then sew together.
|
I made a landscape wall hanging several years ago. The sky and mountains were just fused together then the mountains were covered with trees and plants (I used silk petals and eye-lash yarn to look like leaves and grass.)

Alleyoop1, very clever with eye lash yarn.
|
Can remember the exact name but "man quilts" does a curved line quilt block on YouTube which would probably give you the effect you are looking for.
|
Nancy Zeiman has several videos on her site doing landscape quilts that should make it easier for you.
