One of my clients told me about a wonderful book called "William Morris in Applique" by Michelle Hill and so of course I had to get one of my own!!
In her book, Michelle has provided a history of William Morris and his work. Her style of applique is fusible applique using either machine-stitching or hand-stitching. The book includes general instructions including threads, fabrics, cutting, transferring and fusible applique. There is also a section on stitches and techniques.
Of the many wonderful projects in the book, the one I would like to tackle some day is called Tudor Rose ~
It is a pillow, so it is not quite so intimidating as a full quilt, but still glorious in all it's William Morris-style spendor. Has anyone created a work of art from this collection of projects?

Those look like nice patterns to do, and something beautiful for the bed.

That is gorgeous, and the book sounds like it's full of helpful tips.
Well......I have the book but have never made anything from it. I guess maybe after the photo you showed I need to get the book back off the shelf and take another look at it.
I have this book and love it too!
How exquisite. Definitely on the must buy list!
