They have a lot of landscape fabrics..

Lovely!!! I agree about the waterfall...find some water print fabric, which would solve your problem...but it's gotta have waves and stuff to achieve the look.
Overall I think it's going to be wonderful when done!!!

For the quilting, you will have to do each section separately to blend in with the texture, or to add texture. On the waterfall, you could add some extra sheer fabric, folded or cut small, to give it texture. Look up Thread Painting and see some examples of how they use thread to enhance landscape quilts.
