Thank you one and all for the wonderful comments. I like your ideas you've shared--animals I'd rather do cows (we milk the brown and white ones), and windmills sound good,too.
n2 I don't know if I can make mini's that small--LOL!
butterjoy and barnbum-- I purchased 2 patterns from The Quilted Lizard (Karen Eckmeier)called Farm & Fields and Autumn Hills. She calls them Accidental Landscapes. Website www.quilted-lizard.com I thought I was getting individual cutting instructions; but no she has to stretch my creativity (or somedays lack of it). One starts at the top with the sky and then freehand cut the pieces working from top to bottom. Fold under the top edge 1/4" and topstitch in place and until you feel you are done. I machine quilted the fence in the lower section with black thread. Cut the piece to the size I wanted, added the borders, then machine quilted in the sky and a couple of the hills and bound it. My friend and I did the piecing one afternoon on our "quilt day". Hers turned out great.

Windmill, cows, & how about a few rows in the foreground of corn stalks (since you live in Iowa). That is a great little DQ.

A little tree. A farm truck. Moo Cow. Doggie.

Thank you! Our small quilt guild just did a workshop using this technique. Tonight is meeting night, I'll try to remember to bring camera and take pics.
