If I were going to hand piece I would definitely investigate Inklingo. You can buy patterns but also buy the ability to print your pieces on the wrong side of the fabric by using Inklingo templates and fabric backed with freezer paper. Inklingo has tons of shapes and ideas. I have bought a few of the larger shapes for machine piecing. The program prints the cutting edge and the sewing line and the pieces I have sewn have gone together beautifully. Read up on it. Linda Franz the owner is always available to help answer questions and get you through the process if confusion arises. I love it. There is a little fabric waste but you can work with it and alleviate some of it.
