Trapunto

Here is a quilt  I really love. I did this when I was first really getting into quilting and wanted to have a go at Trapunto.
I used water soluble thread, not the traditional way of stuffing through the back of the quilt after you have quilted, I like this way as it it neat and crisp...and no whip stitching any seams!
I did a feather in the border and designed a feather for the four cream corners.

Here is a close up of the feather border, I used a Signature variegated thread for the Micro stipple background.

Here is a close up of the nine patch. I  McTavished  swirly 'hair' in the cream squares.


I would really like to make time to do more Trapunto as I really love the rich textured look, but it is time consuming...but fun to do. The designing of the quilting pattern is fun too.
