http://prqc.com/2faq.htm They're small projects that only involve two fabrics.
Nancy Chong also has a video that she sells. I watched it 6 times this week (i watched as i pieced another quilt and cleaned my sewing room, etc and as i tried the pattern i was doing)and really got the hang of it quickly. I love hand appliqué because it moves slowly and you can control the pace. You can take it anywhere with you to work on. I also prefer the results and the look of it usually.
