Reverse Applique Quilts

Part of the Hawaiian quilting tradition was to use reverse applique to accent a leaf or flower.  Today quilters are now using reverse applique as the pattern for the quilt.  Reverse applique boldly shows off the quilters design and gives more freedom in design and imagination.  Enjoy a few reverse applique quilts.
The idea of Reverse applique quilts started with Kimi Kumagai from Kobe. she wanted a quilt that would be different from all other styles of Hawaiian quilts....well...she got her wish and inspired others. 90" x 90" Cherry Blossom quilt Designed and Quilted by Kimi KumagaiGhost Warrior 45 x 45 quilted by Kaori45 x 60 Reverse Turtle quilt by Tomoko Kato45 x 60 Aloha Pain'a quilt by Tomiko Okada45 x 45 Cherry Blossoms quilted by Mie Morimoto45 x 60 Tropical Hawaiian Nights quilt by Mie Morimoto45" x 45 Hawaiian Warrior Quilt by Tomoko Kato.
