So as I've worked along on my Beyond the Cherry Tree, I've appliqued on top of things instead of doing the reverse method. This came to a halt when I got to this block.

Overcoming Fears
I love applique, all methods. I love learning new ways to applique, the more techniques, the better equipped I am for any project. But I've always had this fear of reverse applique. Ohhh, that was for the really good appliquer's, not me.

I took the plunge...........hey, this isn't so hard. What was I so afraid of?

Good for you!! It looks fabulous too!!
Great job! I have yet to try reverse applique.
Reverse applique is fun and looks good - how about trying a different colour beneath?
It looks fantastic Sharon! Actually reverse applique is very similar to regular applique;) But now you know that...what's the next challenge?
It turned out Wonderful! We are all afraid of something new, but what d we have to lose? Some fabric? Never stop learning, it makes us fat!
My daughter made a skirt with reverse applique designs all around it. Looked hard to me, but I am chicken with anything that has the word applique attached to it. This block looks great. Good for you for tackling and overcoming a quilting fear!
Oh yes...ME TOO!! A scaredy cat I am! Your little vase looks fantastic Sharon!
I've tried reverse applique and my block turned out fine ... but I still perfect doing it the other way. Your vase looks great.
Looks really good Sharon! Never stop learning...it keeps you young!
I wasn't going to do the reverse applique on my blocks either but gave in and tried it. Now I don't mind doing it. I like your red vase.
