Collaged quilt drama: use templates and machine applique for clear, sharp edges and maximum design flexibility

Article Abstract:

The final appearance of a quilt will not be known until its completion if it is made using precut, ready-to-applique motifs that are put together as a collage. The pattern may be based on natural, organic creations rather than traditional geometric forms. The quilt will change as the work continues and as each new fabric is added.
