Another favorite shadow trapunto quilt
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.

Then I started again with white … [Read more...]
Shadow trapunto quilt and colored thread
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...]
