Fabric to purchase for backdrops

[modernwizard]

Ginger's Needleworks and Quilting sells many printed cotton fabrics that work very well for lazy people like me who want to make easy 1:6 scale sets. I previously used a stone wall print for Lucian's castle to great effect. I'm now making notes for future purchases:

For skies, I have several options:

• A general blue with very light clouds could work for a fading-off-into-the-horizon effect.
• These clouds look farther away and have more definition than the previous ones.
• And here's a partly cloudy night sky!!!!

For trees, I am considering the following:

• Mixed coniferous/deciduous forest in spring, summer, maybe even early fall.
• A deciduous forest in late summer with lots of past-prime green and a few leaves turning color.
• A snowy forest of bare deciduous trees...for Vermont winters, of course!

All of these backdrops should be combined with a few three-dimensional foreground trees, whenever I get around to making them.

I might be able to make a Lake Champlain out of this fabric of long blue breakers, but I'm not convinced.
