Hawaiian needleturn quilts are beautiful...
|
Beth Ferrier has an applique class on Craftsy tha will get you started. I love the look at all applique!
|
I saw a quilt pattern recently that was something like "Baltimore hexies". It was a book, published recently, I think..
|
I was also going to suggest Esther Aliu. She has beautiful quilts. She currently has several that are free. I am in love with her Oma's Blues pattern. I don't hand appliqué and am tempted to start it. I have been drooling over it for months. There are tips and instructions on her blog. Her Love Entwined patter is a real WOW quilt.

I am looking for a quilt pattern that will challenge my quilting skills. I would really like to do a needle turn applique one and would hand quilt it. When I look at it, I will want to say, "Oh Wow, I made that!" Does anyone have suggestions--unique or traditional ideas are welcome? I'm just not into modern or art quilts. Thank you.

The Omigosh quilt? Not applique but stunning. https://www.google.com/search?q=oh+m...w=1088&bih=482

I know I've had the "oh, wow!" response to some Edyta Sitar applique quilts. https://www.laundrybasketquilts.com/...=addedTimeDesc
This link goes to her applique pattern store; scroll down to see the good ones (also on the next page). I think I spent 5 minutes at a quilt show just looking at the details of her Spring Bouquet quilt that someone had entered. She also has books that you may be able to get through the library. |

My first ever applique was made using a free pattern from RJR, Robyn Pandolph "a winter dance". I did change a couple things to make it mine. I changed the heart to a shallow dish like you see bonsai trees grown in. Instead of the circles, I used yoyos.
Here is a link below. http://www.rjrfabrics.com/media/file...5f71830ae2.pdf Here is my piece before it was used in a quilt. If I can do it, anyone can. �� It is my "oh wow" piece still. |
I like Pat Campbell's Jacobean Quilt patterns. She has a tree of life pattern as well as two or 3 books to choose from, all done in needle turn applique.
