I was snooping around Missouri Star Quilt Co tutorials at the weekend and came across something she calls reverse applique, she made it look so simple I had to give it a try, well this is the results, very simple to do and not as fiddly as first thought, I need to trim them a bit more, but happy with the results for a first attempt. My hubby has already claimed the Shamrock one as his. Thanks for taking time to look

I like the idea of a sweat shirt done like this, might go to the op shop and try out one just to see how it looks, thanks for the idea, Trish

Reverse applique also had sounded strange to me until I made one of the mug rugs from which had incorporated that technique.
