I made a rough drawing, and from this, I've got this very rough base of a landscape. I have basted the blue batik until I get the rest of the fabric I need. I will be doing lots of embellishing, and obviously will be placing wind turbines on it! Can you believe I purchased this beautiful batik fabric, but forgot to get some gray for the turbines. I plan to paint the side of the turbines to replicate shading.
Here are a few pictures that I am using as a reference. I just received the picture with the poppies from my friend Carolyn, so I quickly changed my plan to add poppies. Note the wild horses in the second photo on the right -- I hope to include a couple horses in one of the quilts, too.

Hey thanks for finding my blog! ; ) That's beautiful by the way! I did some power lines on a quilt. I found a grey cheapo decorative yarn that I thought had similar colors to the old wood poles, and couched it on by machine. You could fuse fabric too and then stitch. I have such a hard time doing this on batting. I have recently began putting cloth and thread directly onto canvas... all the lumps and bumps bothered me. OTHER people make good landscape quilts, but mine suck. ; )
