Applique Patterns: Is there anything else out there besides bird & flower patterns?
#51
I don't have time to read the whole post and don't know if it has already been mentioned, but I always wondered if a beginners color book would be a good source. You know, the first coloring book for a child. They usually have bold and simplistic pictures without a lot of jigs and jags.I haven't personally tried since I have not done applique (maybe some day - way too many irons in the fire right now ha ha ha) What do you think?

Try Fat Cat Patterns http://www.fatcatpatterns.com/. They have a lot of different patterns. I'm doing the free BOM Angels right now.

You could go to the library and get woodworking patterns -copy them. They are very basic and much like color books and have all things you can imagine. And maybe some you haven't thought of. It doesn't matter if the books are recent are new or old.

I want to learn to machine applique. The books on the market seem to only use birds and flowers. I"M NOT A BIRD & FLOWER KINDA GIRL. Can anyone suggest or point me in the direction of an applique book that has other designs/themes other than the birds & flowers?
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Put "applique" into the box in the upper right hand corner of any QB page and you'll find all the advice you'd ever want!!!

I have seen some beautiful Sunbonnet Sue appliqued (machine). The book I have has patterns for baby quilts, wall hangings and a full-size quilt. What's really fun is to increase the size of the pattern pieces, increase the block sizes to accommodate the larager pattern pieces, then double the number of blocks to make your quilt a very nice size. A baby quilt 28" X 36" just seems far too small to me! The book of Sunbonnet Sue patterns I have is 10-12 years old and I don't remember the name of it -- I'm working today and it's at home! I'll try to look it up tonight and get back in touch with you.
