These are from wood puzzles

Thought they could be used for just about anything

great idea, I'll have to check my Grandson's toy box!

They would make great templates

they would make great appliques.

I have a bunch of tole painting books that I used to use for scrapbook (paper) paper piecing.....that I think would make awesome applique patterns.....The only thing I would think would be hard to replicate is the actual shading.... In scrapbook (paper) paper piecing, you can use chalk and markers to shade.

with fabric, you can use markers, dyes, oil sticks, and other items too. Nancy Zieman and Natalie (can't remember her last name) do it all the time. They show how in their co-authored landscape books :D:D:D

I think all of these would make GREAT appliques :D:D:D

thanks for the great idea I need to check with GC to see if they have anything I could use. Thanks for sharing

Isn't it funny how quilters "see" quilty things in everyday objects. Good idea.

I have used my sons old block set as a pattern before but I love these shapes.
