QAYG Reverse Applique

I spent the afternoon playing around with a little QAYG Reverse Applique. I'm quilting and appliqueing in one step. 


I'm not sure how I want to treat the edges. I plan to do one of the following:
  • Leave the edges raw
  • Zig Zag with contrasting thread
  • Zig Zag with navy thread
I've done a bit of each on this sample block. My plan is to wash the block and see which finish I prefer.


I like cutting 20 inch wide strips of batting......all ready for any QAYG projects I might have on the go.

    I love it! The ideea, the design, the fabrics. Can't wait to see what you decide. I'd take out the zig zag in constast, probably no finish at all would be my favorite, but I'm sure I'll love it anyway :)

    Last night, I sketched out a quilt, it has a circular design, kinda like yours but different. The colors are whites on the outside corners, with a spiral that starts out with yellows, then transitions to oranges, reds, copper, brown, and blacks...in the middle is a black puzzle piece that will be appliqued on. I want it to include a dragon or monster, but not sure how to incorporate that element. It is nice to see that someone else has a similar idea so I don't feel alone.
