I love doing needle-turn applique' as I have a Hawaiian quilt project going most of the time. I'm on my 4th wall hanging size and am practicing for the day I graduate to a bed-size!

When I began to applique I bought the book APPLIQUE 12 EASY WAYS BY Ellie Sienkiewicz. She teaches all the different ways to applique. She also includes many projects and patterns and suggests the best method to use for each. You can try any or all of them and decide which you like best. I find that I use different methods for the different pieces in each project. Have fun experimenting.
