Dancing Feathers- a new shadow trapunto quilt

I finished the latest shadow trapunto quilt.

It wasn’t as large as the last quilt, so this time quilting was an enjoyable experience.

Am terminat noul shadow trapunto quilt. Nu a fost atat de mare ca cel de data trecuta, asa ca quiltingul a fost o experienta mult mai placuta (si mai rapida).

Dancing Feathers
95 x 98 cm / 37.5 x38.5 inch
—————————————————

I made this quilt for a contest with the theme:”Feathers”.

I draw the design with Electric Quilt.

I just love Electric Quilt. In the last year I spent a lot of time drawing patterns with this quilt design software.

Am facut quiltul pentru un concurs cu tema: “Pene”.

Am desenat modelul cu Electric Quilt.

Imi place la nebunie Electric Quilt. In ultimul an am petrecut o gramada de timp utilizand acest program.

The entire quilt is quilted with Invisible Thread. I used almost a spool of 1500 yards.
Tot quiltul e quiltuit cu ata de nylon trasnparenta. Aproape am terminat o bobina de 1500 yards.

Motivele cu trapunto au fost suficient de mari incat sa n-am probleme in a decupa vatelina de pe ele.

Quilting with invisible thread creates such a nice texture…

Quiltingul cu ata transparenta creeaza o textura asa frumoasa…

I chose to put under organza a light color fabric rather than a bold one.
Maybe a bold and bright fabric shows up the trapunto pattern more clearly but I still chose to use a light green fabric. I am very pleased with the final appearance of the quilt.I love the subtle and smooth transition between batting and background.

The background fabric is from Patricia Campbell collection: “Not so solid”.
She is famous for her fabric line ”Fossil Fern’ from Benartex. This collection had 170 colors ! View some of these fabrics on the Cotton Club store.

Am ales sa pun sub organza un material de culoare mai deschisa in locul unuia cu o culoare vibranta, tare.
Un contrast mai mare intre vatelina si materialul de fond poate ca ar fi pus mai bine in evidenta modelul format de trapunto, totusi am ales acest material verde mai deschis. Imi place tranzitia lina de la vatelina la culoarea materialul de fond.
De cum am cumparat acest material, m-am indragostit de el ! E din colectia Patricia Campbell “Not so solid”. Toate materialele din colectie sunt superbe.

Patricia Campbell e celebra si pentru colectia de materiale “Fossil Fern”, fabricata de Benartex. Initial colectia a avut 170 de culori.
Cotton Club e magazinul care cred ca are cele mai multe materiale din aceasta colectie. Sunt minunate, as vrea sa le am pe toate…

Your shadow trapunto is exquisite — I’m not at all surprised that three of your pieces have been accepted to the Houston Festival. 🙂 Which technique for shadow trapunto do you use?
