Hi I am new to this website and relatively new to quilting. I have found a pattern with shadow applique, can someone explain to me what that is . I am concerned that it is above my skill level. I've been trying to quilt for a few years now, I still only dare to stitch in the ditch and around applique, but ti has become my lifeline to sanity. Nothing has been more fun ( and frustrating) I learn a lot from your postings. Thanks, jfowles
