Simple Applique Pattern for Newbie
#2
Check out CraftyBear's Applique Club thread. I also found that making patterns from children's coloring books was a good way to create a simple pattern - the lines are dark and easy to trace and they are simple for beginners.

I think the 2-fabric applique quilts designed by Nancy Chong of Pacific Rim Quilt Company are excellent for learning applique. I wrote about them and showed some of mine here - http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...q-t144873.html

Check out "Sew Special Designs" by Joni Pike.

I have done 3 or 4 of them and they are quick and easy. It takes longer to embellish them the way you (I) want them than it does to stitch/ applique' them!
This is a top I recently made and since this pic I have quilted it and added buttons for eyes, noses, embellised the collars and the flowers and etc.
