Reverse appliqué - another piece of holiday homework inspired by the Mola work of the Cuna Indians of Panama. I am not using the traditional colours instead pinks and greens from my stash that I have been using for my other holiday applique and quilting samplers.

This is my first sample - just trying out this technique as part of my summer holiday homework. I find it is a combination of couching, applique and cutwork using crochet cotton, organza and netting. Much better examples can be found here
