If you can trace it, you can applique it. You can look for designs anywhere.

Absolutely. If you can't draw you can search for free coloring pages and trace off what ever you want. And free coloring pages exist for just about anything you can think of. A search engine is an appliquer's best friend.

I made a baby quilt some years ago, using a coloring page with a bear and balloons. Unfortunately, did not get a picture before I gave it away, but the little girl dragged that quilt everywhere. The only time the mom could was it was when the baby was fast asleep, lol
I would agree with the previous poster "... if you can trace it, you can applique it...". I would also add, if you like it, do it.

If you love wild life here are two book spirit of the northwoods, a forest of quilts. I have both and love them. And if you like lighthouse get the book lighthouse of New England.

I just bought this book

The appliques are big without small pieces, and you only need a few for the quilt. Great for beginners.

there are tons of applique quilts---cats, dogs, fish, *McKenna Ryan has a wide assortment* we've done lots & lots of appliques using coloring book pages---you can pretty much applique anything you can find a picture of.

Children's coloring books or online pages. I once downloaded a Welsh Dragon and appliqued it to a center medallion for a quilt.

What's your favorite thing, animal or hobby?

i pick a topic, cats, go to bing, and find color pages there. I've done funky cat, cats and dogs, farm, chickens, bugs ect. if you can outline it, you can app it.
