Your favorite applique quilt pattern - need advice please
Howdy
Next month we have a dutch fabric market over here in my town. And I want to buy some fabric for a new quilt. But I can’t decide what kind of quilt I want to make. Oh, I know the next one should be one with a lot of appliques. But I’m not sure about colours or a pattern. So please give me some advice! What applique quilts are your favourites? What pattern do you like? What colours? I am open for everything, except green. The quilt I am working on right now is an irish triple chain with a lot of green. That’s why I would like prefer some other colours or only a bit green for the next quilt.
Thanks a lot, nakotha

If you want something you can have done in a month I'd do a jelly roll quilt and add giant appliqued flowers. I don't think a Baltimore Album quilt is something you're going to get done in a month.

If you are only giving yourself a month to make this quilt from start to finish; I would suggest another Irish Chain in different colors and maybe applique Sunbonnet Sues. I believe Sunbonnet Sue/Colonial Lady is the most popular applique pattern of all time and one of the highest selling embroidery transfers.

Thanks so much for your suggestions!
Nahhh, the fabric market is next month. But i have no time limit for making the quilt. And if it takes me till 2017, this will be ok
Well, I took a little nap and am a bit clearer about the colours. The main colours will be either blue and yellow or black and turquoise. But with some coloured points or effects here and there.
