I buy the big coloring books at the grocery store or dollar store. The pictures in them are usually very basic shapes (especially of animals) and are very easy to use as applique shapes. And they big book usually only costs a couple of dollars for lots of pics.

I have never ever been able to find a pattern for a quilt I love on Pinterest. Any suggestions?

i go to google.that's where i find all mu applique pictures from. good luck.
