my nephew made his first stained glass quilt using coloring book pages of animals...a kangaroo, turtle, rabbit...i don't know what all, he found free coloring book pages on line, printed off the ones he wanted to use, enlarged them to the size he wanted to use. then he used paper-back fusable, copied his applique shapes. (no seam-allowances added)fused them onto his background fabric, then used the pre-made fusable bias tape (from clover, comes in different widths; he used 1/4" applied the tape around his applique pieces then used a zigzag stitch the width of the bias tape to stitch every thing in place.
stained glass applique is a very forgiving technique with fabulous results...jump in and make something, YOU WILL LOVE IT!
