A Little Bit of Handwork/Machinework

Aloha,
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday!  It's kind of humid here in Hawaii, but nothing a fan or ac can't fix.

This piece of needlework I wanted to share with you is a combination of handwork and machine worked.  I signed up for a stained-glass quilt class some years back and thought I would be using tons of bias tape, you know the one on a reel and tape is only a scant 1/4"? So, I thought I'd buy a bunch to be ahead of the game. Duh...if I'd read class descriptions, I would've known it was going to be a reverse applique method.  So, I still have the bias tape rolls; eventually will put to good use.  But, I do love reverse applique.  Take a look:

 This is a multi-step process of layered fabric and carefully multi-step cutting of fabric layers. But I think it was worth the process. The black fabric was like doing Hawaiian quilt applique; turning raw edges under with a needle then stitching as you go. The quilting is done on my machine using metallic thread.
Now, I need to go get some Easter things done for the Grandchildren. Enjoy the rest of your week!
Aloha,
