| The fun thing about quilt
appliquéing is that you can experiment with it and see what looks and
works best for
you. Many websites today offer free quilt patterns, beginner quilt
patterns, and easy free quilt patterns. If you want to
make an appliqué quilt of "a scene" and you don't have a good
artist hand for drawing the scenes then here are some suggestions:
1.Have a friend who is pretty good at art draw you
something, enlarge it to the size you want your appliqué quilt to be, then
have fun cutting it out and making your quilt.
2.Take a photograph that you already have and
enlarge it to the size you want your quilt, copy it, then have fun
transferring it to different color fabrics and fusing into a quilt.
3.Go through child's coloring books and look for
art work you can enlarge, copy, and then quilt.
4.Go on the internet to Free clip art and see if
there are some art works that you could use.
The ideas are endless. Appliqué quilting is just
like drawing a new picture, but you are using fabric and quilting it
instead!!! |
