Patti - here's my first attempt at doing trapunto in the setting triangles. I did cheat - I used my embroidery machine. I enlarged the pattern and decided to see if it could be done by the embroidery machine since I'm not good at trying to follow the design with free motion. I didn't use the dissolving thread on this test piece as it's sooooo expensive, so it shows several layers of thread and I'm not sure the picture shows how poofy it really is, but it looks pretty good. Depending on how I decide to quilt the blocks, it's possible I might set the embroidery machine up to do pebbling around the trapunto and see what that looks like. Anyway this is my first practice piece. Can't decide if I want to use red thread or blue or black (there's a lot of black in my fabric).
