my answer really depends on how big you want the finished project to be.

the eagles have a wing span of 34 inches so the landscape scene will be rather large to keep everything in scale.

which book goes with this pattern - i wasn't aware that caryl bryer fallert made a book for this design.

Not sure if you have also checked out her gallery of quilts. But for me, the fantastic part is the dyed fabrics behind the birds. I don't think a detailed landscape would be worth the trouble when it's the eagles that you're wanting to stand out. JMHO

Hi Klue:
The book isn't specific for the eagles, but, it is the Creative String Piecing, to get the idea of how to piece it. Still thinking about next course of action.

Good point...still thinking about it. I like the dyed fabric version myself. A landscape may actually lose the eagles.

Finally, I am under way...The first eagle is almost done, and am having tons of fun with all the tiny pieces. However, I still haven't decided on the background. I have 6 meters of blue and white cloud material, that, I could incorporate, or do a string background like the orginal pattern, or... You know what...there are so many options, but, for now, I'll work on the eagles...maybe inspiration will strike...haha

Can you post a progress picture so we can ooohhh and ahhh? I love this pattern and would love to see how you're approaching it.

I would love to see it too. It looks like an awesome pattern. Probably way over my skills though

Have you posted any pictures of your eagles in progress on the board?
