If you have seen hawaiian quilts they are usually done in reverse app.
If you want to try one, let me know, I cann send you a easy pattern to begin with, you might like it.

I chose my background today. It will be a plain cream cotton. Not sure what technique I'll use. I wanted to get away of machine applique because it is what I always do. I haven't done hand applique other than samples when I took a couple of classes here and there. I don't know which method will be easier to start.
What hand applique method are you using?
