I've never done trapunto.

So then I considered applique but I wonder how well the edges will hold up?
I've only done applique once so I don't really have alot of experience with it.

The quilts will have lots of washings and dryings and kids rolling around on top etc.

What d'ya think?
Has anyone made both kinds and have "statistics" for me? :D
