I also love applique!!! You can take it anywhere and do it. I've rode in the car, sat in the doctor's office, at my childs sporting events, town meetings, watched TV, etc. The problem is there is so many different types of applique. Baltimore, folk, etc. Do you have a preference? I personally like a lot of the Baltimore. I'm currently on the fence about my bedroom also and considering doing this. I googled free applique patterns and came up with all sorts. Here's one for you.
