I was in a quilt shop and saw a quilt with large leaves done in batiks. It was beautiful. It was simply done in blocks. The background was black. I thought it was needle turn applique but looked closer and found it was shadow applique(not sure that is the name). Applique where you put background material on top and your leaf material on back. Draw pattern on top, stitch around it and then cut the background away leaving the bottom material showing. Hope this makes sense. I would rather do it in needle turn. I thought maybe I could find a pattern online for it but haven't. I thought it was Connecting Threads but looked and couldn't find the pattern. Where is the best place to buy batiks of good quality online? I anyone knows of this pattern please post.
