Welcome to Applique Play, where creative mix & match fun starts with a single 8" applique quilt block! From skating penguins and bee hives to sewing machines, sunflowers, and sweet lemons, each pattern is a charming design that’s quick to stitch and easy to love.

Every pattern includes full-size applique templates, a layout sheet , full color photo of a finished block, video tutorial links, simple instructions, and a fabric requirements chart so you know exactly what you need before you start. Most designs use just small pieces of each color, which makes them perfect for your scrap stash.

Here’s where the fun begins. Pick a pattern, pick a project from our Project Possibilities booklet, pick your fabrics, and create something uniquely yours! Change the fabrics, and the same block looks completely different. Change the project, and it finds a whole new home.

Whether you’re new to applique or a seasoned stitcher, Applique Play makes it easy to create with confidence. Start with your favorite or collect them all, and enjoy making something beautiful with Applique Play designs by Jacquelynne Steves.
