Once before I reverse appliqued a previously quilted piece and had good results. In fact, that quilt, Going In Circles, will be included in the upcoming exhibit Fiber Revolution: A Survey of Styles, at the New England Quilt Museum. Here's a before shot

Sounds like a great idea! Love the piece here with reverse applique.
ReplyDeleteSomeone said in relation to jewellery, I think, but it applies here, and perhaps also in the Feathers and Ferns piece ..."Less is More"
ReplyDeleteI really love this before shot, with intriguing shapes and textures. Perhaps Pat you need someone to tell you '"Stop ! Now!" everynow and then.
So... am I going to get shot if I say I like the 'before' better? Maybe it is just the photo, but I feel like you lose the wonderful color changes in the thread work by putting them up against such saturated fabrics...
ReplyDeleteI love your Pine piece - GORGEOUS! Maybe some *subtle* metallics, but otherwise don't mess with perfection!!!
Just my $.02. Thanks for sharing!
