I tried the “backwards” applique last night and couldn’t believe the difference! And this after hand quilting for a few hours! I’m sold — but will force myself to just do a little at a time!
The cleaning out of pizza boxes and drawers resulted in another find — the beginnings of Rose Sampler Supreme pattern by Rosemary Makhan. Don’t know if that one will get finished or if I’ll just use the few blocks I’ve made for cushions or something. Still thinking on that.
This is a picture of the little quilt I made that I can’t show yet. I used a tool in Photoshop to conceal the pattern, but it gives you a good idea of all the colours I used in it. Photoshop is a lot of fun to play with!
And this is our Smudge — as soon as he hears that camera click, he’s right there.


What a great way to disguise a quilt! I can’t wait to see the actual quilt so I can figure out what Photoshop did to it.

Ok, what is backwards applique? That is neat the way you used photo shop to distort the picture of the little quilt you are making.

Love what photoshop did. The colors are beautiful. It reminds me of the oily swirled easter eggs I used to make.My best guess is …hmm let me think…stars in two colors? Can’t wait to see the quilt and how long will you make us wait? Is it for a swap? All of the swaps I can think of have ended?
