Reverse appliqué pattern – Hand directions, applique, Under-Coloring & Paper-Piecing

(52" x 52")

Summertime is an advanced level quilt pattern for hand reverse applique with applique and under-coloring. It springs forth with new life and hope from its center tree with its reverse applique trunk and leaves that are both under-colored and appliqued in two halves to create depth and dimension.

The tree is surrounded by an applique border of flowers with Goldfinches and Robins that you can almost hear singing their hopeful song of new life springing up.

This quilt was designed specifically for the Academy of Applique in fabrics by Batik Textiles, and premiered February 2022.

Fabric kits with the Batik Textile fabrics it was designed in are available in our shop.
