The anatomy of a quilt

May 12, 2012 67 Comments

Do you remember this top ? And this top ? They became this! My largest shadow trapunto quilt -  55'' x 55''. When I started working on this quilt, there were two options: if everything goes well, I will make a beautiful quilt. If something goes wrong, instead of one quilt, I will make two- an applique quilt and a simple shadow trapunto. My concern was that the trapunto design … [Read more...]

WIP- shadow trapunto quilt

March 22, 2012 19 Comments

The batting is cut away. Normally I would say that the hardest work is done. But not in this case. Actually I am quite nervous thinking of the next steps. I added a colored fabric under the organza so you can see the design better. It measures 52''x52''. This will not be the background. There will be something more... I hope there will be much more... I clipped the organza only … [Read more...]

New start

March 20, 2012 13 Comments

This post doesn't have pretty pictures. But I hope I will show you  a beautiful quilt in a few weeks. I started a new shadow trapunto quilt. A large one - well, as large as my organza  - a little bigger than 50''. As I have a small table, I thought to baste the layers on the floor... Here are batting and organza... and here I added the paper pattern. I had the most difficult time … [Read more...]

Quilts from My Book

January 15, 2012 15 Comments

Here is the quilt that ended up on the cover of my book. It's so ironic because blue is the color I like the least! There were three quilts considered  to be on the cover and none of them was green! It wasn't my choice and  it was such a good thing because I could not have chose one. It is a small quilt, about 22'' square". I love the back, the white fabric allows the design to … [Read more...]

Shadow Trapunto Christmas Quilts

November 1, 2009 20 Comments

This is my collection of Christmas quilts. I used these designs to make shadow trapunto quilts ( because this is my passion), but they could be used for other quilting techniques, too. I tried to make quick and easy designs. This piece could be stitched in one day... I made this in less than one day... I love postcards ! The same magic of shadow trapunto in a little piece that can be made … [Read more...]
