I've not done reverse applique...but I've always admired it. It always reminds me of the really cool Christmas cookies...stained glass windows...you know...round cookie..crunched up hard candy...then another round cookie with a star(heart, tree. etc) type cut out in the middle. Baked in the oven, and the candy melts to a pretty stained glass looking piece of yummy cookieness. Hmmmm shall I bake or quilt...cause right now both sound pretty darn good.
