The main large shapes–the mountains, hills, lake and foreground–are layered from top to bottom. I cut the shapes from various fabrics, and I folded down the top edges 1/4″ and pressed them. Then I pinned everything into place from top to bottom (with the exception of the little hills that make the “fjords” in the lake–those were pinned on top of the lake layers) and top-stitched everything in place.

Then, I did the branch and leaves and flowers as well as two details on the fjord-hills using Steam-A-Seam lite fusible interfacing. The tree branch I also top-stitched, but the leaves and flowers, because they are so small, I did not.

The techniques are pretty simple for this style of landscape quilt. I think you can do it–especially if you pick a simpler shape for the overall quilt than I did, and a simpler subject.
