Look online at pictures of flowers and use them to come up with your own designs. You are definitely good enough to start designing your own. You can use the same vase in different fabrics or after making a few, mix it up with your own creative ideas. I rarely ever use a pattern for applique any more.....just cut free-hand and have fun. Now that's the way to go when you are ADD (and just crazy enough to have creative bent).
Yes, Fleur.....that's sounds like a good idea....creating my own applique.....BUT you have no idea......I have ABSOLUTELY NO artistic skill when it comes to art. I have a hard time trying to pick colors for a quilt and the few that I have made have been "copy cats" from the board. I will have to work on it with the applique tho....maybe something will pop into my head when I look at some coloring book pages. Thanks for the post. Pat
