Linda, those are absolutely gorgeous! I love how different each pattern looks just by changing the batik! I really like the yellow one (looks kind of like a lily)! If you ever need a home for your artwork, I live really close! :)

Hi Karen, nice to hear from you. I think you mean the one with the wild colors, including yellow? That's a bird of paradise design. I wish I had used a different fabric on the back, because the front and back blended together in part of the quilt, making the design not as evident, but I still like the quilt.

The shadow effect is amazing!

Actually, I love the combination of colors!

BTW you should join us on 9/3 for a get together at quiltiludrop's! It's in your area! PM her for info!

Beautiful works of art!

Just beautiful. You did a marvelous job.

Both methods are similar looking and I love all shown.

Georgous!!!!

Beautiful

WOW...I love them all....especially the carousel horses!!!! :-D

Wow! You've really been busy! They're all gorgeous! :thumbup:

Had not seen this technique before - just beautiful!

Great qiuilts. I would love to try one of these but wonder is my arthritic hands could handle it. I do hand embroidery so I guess there would not be much difference

Wow!!

They are awesoome and then some...lol

Reverse applique right?

No, there's really no such thing as reverse applique. Applique is applique! You turn it under and you sew it down. However some people do call it reverse applique when the primary pattern is being revealed by cutting away and tucking under the "background" part of the pattern. In this case, the primary pattern is what is being turned under and sewn down (it's on top) so it doesn't fit that definition.

great colors. I am going to have to try this!!!

Wow! those are gorgeous.

Ditto!!

Love them all

Beautiful.... I have something like the rose patterns but have not done it yet.... yours all look great.

Lovely designs and colors - I would love to see the first on in a red and white quilt! Thank you for sharing! :) :) :) :) :)

You've tempted me beyond my ability to resist... I ordered. <G>

I respectfully beg to differ, but I took a quilting class in 1981 and it included "reverse applique", so if there is no such thing there are many quilters out there that think there is. Just google it there are several tutorials online.

Beautiful work!!!

Thanks for the explanation of this technique! I think yours are beautiful!!!

I'm going to attempt to make an applique using this technique to make my bichon frise. I've drawn the picture and am wondering how I'm going to trace it onto the dark fabric. Maybe I'll cut it out and draw around the outside. See if that will work. In the meantime, I'd better trace my drawing onto another piece of paper so I don't loose my hours of work!!!

i would like to try it...i would like to try it...i would like to try it...
i hope my next post will be i think i can

Astounding! They are gorgeous.

I'm quoting Nancy Lee Chong - see this reference - http://www.prqc.com/qa.htm - scroll down to #14.

It's fine if you want to call something reverse applique, but the techniques used to create it are no different than the techniques used for all other needle turn applique.

They look great!

Very Cool!!!

All really nice. THanks for all of the info. Dare I ask....just kidding:) This reminds me of Hawaiian quilting...

Really amazing. All of them are work of art.

just love this

thanks for sharing your beautiful designs!!

Stunning

wow. beautiful --a new techniaue to me

I think it doesn't matter what this is called...these are beautiful quilts...I applique stacking pieces and satin stitching...then one day I decided to blanket stick, then in order to have travel sewing started doing turned, I didn't know it had a different name and this method my friend and I called "cut out" design applique. And my sister who doesn't understand my love of quilts calls all quilts...brace yourself...RAGS that no one wants.
Always remember different regions of the world use different wordings to describe things. In my own family...quilts are...quilts, blankets, throws, towbels (kids word for towel backing and pieced front) and moving blankets...and the dreadful RAG.

STUNNING!!

Beautiful, I signed up for a Nancy Chong class before she
move back to Hawaii. Sadly, she had to cancel the class and when it was rescheduled I was unable to attenStill hope to learn her method one day.
