Trapunto and shadow trapunto tutorials

October 4, 2018 16 Comments

We love batting, right?! Even if it is that hidden layer in the middle of the quilt. It is as important as fabric! And in some situations, it becomes even more important than usual. I am thinking about the trapunto and shadow trapunto techniques. You probably already know: trapunto is just a design enhanced with an additional layer of batting that gives it a pronounced “stuffed” … [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...]

Shadow Trapunto Quilt

October 14, 2014 4 Comments

Here is a Mariner's Compass block on a 12-side shadow trapunto quilt. It measures 17''. Most of my quilts are free motion quilted, but for this trapunto design I used the walking foot. I couldn't have stitched straight lines without it.   These shadow trapunto quilts are truly two sided. On the front you see shadow trapunto, on the back is visible the trapunto. See other shadow … [Read more...]

Shadow trapunto quilts- duplicating quilt designs

September 21, 2014 6 Comments

Do you duplicate the quilts you like a lot? Like making one more version, maybe with other type of prints, or other color palette, but keeping the same pattern? It happened to me only a few times (but I do have a list of quilts I would like to make again someday). Here is one example. You would be tempted to say it is not the same pattern- but it is. These are two shadow trapunto pillows. … [Read more...]
