My First Shot at Trapunto
 

So happy with this - my first real shot at trapunto. I wanted to do a few test runs before I do a big ol' quilt. I'm really happy with the results. I got a little bit of knotting and realized after a way I could have made it easier on myself. Lesson learned!

All I can say is that polyester batting as earned it's place back in my quilts! ;)

What a great job you did with this, I can hardly wait to see what you do with "a big ol' quilt"!

It's beautiful! Great job - good luck with your big quilt but it doesn't look like you need it!

Wow! I'm really impressed. I've never tried it because it looks hard to do.......! You certainly have the right stuff!

Thank you guys so much! A1penny - it's not too terribly difficult, but really time consuming. The hardest part so far has probably been controlling those small stitches around the trapunto design. This has really opened up a whole new door for me though, IDEAS ABOUND!!! ;)

Wow, awesome!!!!

So nice! Congratulations on giving this a try and doing so well at it. I admire it, but have avoided giving it try.

it's beautiful!!! what thread are you using? ... it's so sparkly

That's so pretty. Yes, what is the thread color that is sparkly?

Sooo Beautiful. I love the look of Trapunto!

you did a beautiful job

WOW - Just lovely, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Looks great from here!

Thank you!! I am SO happy with this. I cannot wait to do more!!! I have a project that I have to get working on though I wish I could play with this more - it is FUN!

Oh Jan it's really easy I hope you'll try it! This is machine trapunto, so really it's just time consuming more than difficult. You can do it!! :)

HAHAHA - thank you!! You know what? The sparkle is really just a result of the lighting and small stitches. It's a super cheapie polyester embroidery thread from Jo-Ann's...I think it's Coat's and Clark even!!! It's shiny and does sparkle a bit almost once the quilting gets really dense.

It looks great to me!

very very nice

gorgeous! You have every right to be pleased with the results this looks fabulous.

impressive. did you use a book to learn?

WOW! Beautiful job! Can't wait to see a whole quilt!

Great job!

How pretty the design is! Nice job.

That's looking just fantastic! Can't wait to see your wholecloth!!!

Beautiful !! I too love the sparkly thread..

great job
nice

Thank you all so much!!! Debra, no I did not use a book. I actually had played with the technique before on a few projects but wasn't sure what I was really doing. I decided to get brave and just read up on it a bit, get an idea for how I wanted to execute it, and then do it!!! It was totally a learning experience and I will definitely be doing some things differently on the next project...but I'm still really happy with it! :)

Wow that is very beautiful.

That is one great first try!!! I look forward to seeing more of this from you! You must be so excited with your success!

WOW! it is beautiful! i can't wait to see the finished product! so much work!

This turned out fabulous. I love to hear and see the results when a chance is taken to push into a new concept in quilting and everything.

I also admire people that can use white. My home doesn't do white well! Black dog:D
peace

Beautiful:) Keep us posted on your progress.

Very pretty. I would like to try it.

Finished! It's still wet from removing the marking pen and needs bound but I'm so happy! It's not perfect, there are definitely a lot of things I will do differently next time...but thrilled to have a new skill under my belt! Now to have fun and play with it!!! Thanks for all the kind comments and encouragment, you all are so great!!!

Your sample turned out awesome! Look forward to seeing the quilt you plan on doing this on!

With a black ánd a white dog, the problem even gets bigger:p

I love your trapunto, sure want to try it myself very soon!!!!!!

that is beautiful!!! I can't wait to see it done. I've never tried doing it.

Oh Wow! That is so beautiful! I have GOT to learn how to do that. I can see why you would be happy, it turned out beautifully!

Very nice. Wish I had that kind of control.

Beautiful, your work is great.

Wow you are fast learner!
