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! Here is the trapunto design stitched on organza; once this step is finished, the next one is choosing … [Read more...]

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...]

Small shadow trapunto quilts

August 20, 2016 2 Comments

Here are some of my early shadow trapunto quilts- most of them are smaller than 20''. If you don't know this technique, that white design is fluffy polyester batting. The trapunto design is stitched on organza and underneath there are the colored fabric, another layer of batting, and a backing. I love having an online gallery on my blog, so I am motivated to take pictures of a … [Read more...]

2 in 1 quilt

July 8, 2015 14 Comments

Why 2 in 1 quilt? Because on the back it looks like a trapunto quilt... ...and the front is actually a shadow trapunto quilt. A 40'' quilt. You usually see details like this one below in the background of my photos. It is a quilt that I use for its back! I made it in 2008! I could say it's a utilitarian quilt! It's the only wall hanging I use, but not as wall hanging! Since 2008 I … [Read more...]

Shadow Trapunto for Quilts with winter theme

November 19, 2014 11 Comments

Is there a better technique than shadow trapunto to make quilts with winter theme?  I think that the designs of my shadow trapunto quilts look like they are drawn in the snow.   And it's not only the visual effect, if you could touch them...   The quilts below are some of my first shadow trapunto quilts- made in 2008. I think this was my first miniature! I duplicated … [Read more...]
