I have a passion for applique, especially realistic flowers, plants, birds, animals....nature in general. This is a book that I immediately used for a wall hanging which while not yet complete promises to be a truly gorgeous piece of art. The directions and patterns are clear and I have had no problem in creating beautiful flowers from this book. It gets a prime place on my bookshelf!

What a beautiful, well written book. I have been quilting for years yet I learned several new techniques. The flowers are so realistic you would think you could pick them. Instructions are made simple enough for someone who is beginning to learn appliqué, yet there is an abundance of techniques to keep the experienced quilter engaged. Well done!

Great book, all the how-to's that anyone would need and some excellent patterns that are very life like. Many of my quilting friends also like the book even if they aren't applique nuts like me. Well written and presented.

I got this book to make a quilt with flower blocks. These look so easy. I can't wait to start it.

Wild Flower Applique
This book was just another repeat of earlier applique technique books and I'm sorry I bought it. The patterns are only mildly interesting and I didn't read a lot of new techniques.
