I did the trapunto technique with all of the applique in my quilt. I machine sew my turned edge applique, so I don't do needle turn. Before machine sewing applique in place on background, I add a layer of polyester loft behind the background fabric, then machine sew my applique pieces, then cut the loft away from around my applique pieces. Here is a picture of the back of the orange peel blocks.. I did the same with the clamshell block but I don't have a picture of the back. If you google trapunto technique you can see how it's done.. Also, you may want to read this thread....There are several of us who have shared different techniques and solutions to tackling some of the challenges of Kingwell blocks. Anael & I both shared how we did some of the blocks specific to GTSB pattern.
