Shadow Trapunto and Kaleidoscope

April 13, 2017 1 Comment

Here is a beautiful and easy to sew shadow trapunto quilt. It started with a "kaleidoscope" background (more ideas that use striped fabric here). The trapunto design on organza.    All the trapunto was quilted with the walking foot. See a gallery of my shadow trapunto quilts here. Learn how to sew shadow trapunto quilts here. Happy quilting!

Hello, friends! I am working on a "Welcome Spring!" project, I can't wait to share it with you - in about one week! For now, I am adding one more piece (from my shadow trapunto book) to my gallery of shadow trapunto quilts. A cushion cover with trapunto design even on the flange!

Another favorite shadow trapunto quilt

November 8, 2016 2 Comments

How couldn't this quilt be a favorite? It measures about 33''. I used the same fabric for background and binding. As you can see, the quilting was easy- I followed the design on the fabric. The back. These quilts are so soft and lightweight, because I used a fluffy polyester batting for both trapunto and the middle layer. I hope you are having a great week.   Save … [Read more...]

My favorite shadow trapunto quilts – 2

October 26, 2016 1 Comment

Here is another favorite shadow trapunto quilt. I love this design so much. At the first sight, trimming the batting away might look like a difficult task, but the design is not small and that is always helpful. The quilting required a lot of backtracking but I remember I enjoyed it. The background was a lovely Robert Kaufman fabric and I quilted following its … [Read more...]

My favorite shadow trapunto quilts- I

October 22, 2016 2 Comments

This is one of my favorite shadow trapunto quilts. It measures about  35''. The design was inspired by a sashiko pattern; I adore its simplicity. You must think that it was hard to cut away this intricate design. Not at all! Do you remember the AMAZING tool I use for cutting away?? With these thread snips, it is so easy to access any area you need to cut away. Its tip is … [Read more...]

Shadow trapunto quilts- playing with thread

October 17, 2016 3 Comments

Here is another shadow trapunto quilt from my book, it measures 25'' (shadow trapunto tutorial here). I love the way I quilted the background. The color of the thread was an important thing! I remember I started quilting with dark color thread and I did not like it at all. I am glad I was wise enough to take the time to unpick all the quilting! Then I started again with white … [Read more...]

Shadow trapunto quilt and colored thread

September 12, 2016 5 Comments

Here is another shadow trapunto quilt from my collection. It measures 25'' and because the trapunto design is not heavily quilted, it's so soft and fluffy! I love this simple design. What do you see first? The trapunto design (the white part) or the design made out by the lack of trapunto? Because I did not quilt inside the trapunto design, it seems both designs compete for our attention. … [Read more...]
