Trapunto is an Italian term for a style of quilting that creates texture and depth in your piece. This technique essentially refers to “stuffing” areas of your work. It can be used in traditional or contemporary pieces to highlight areas of particular interest.
While the supplies are minimal, the results are fabulous and eye-catching!
There are a variety of techniques and “tools” available for achieving this look in your work. Here, I will be describing my preferred process. I find it’s simplicity allows me to focus on enjoying what I’m creating rather than managing “stuff”.

Hi Kathy,
For quite some time, I’ve kept a block panel which I envisioned to be separately mounted onto a hollow wooden frame, then hung as a triptych on a wall over a loveseat in my living room. I’m gung-ho in learning your process for ‘trapunto’ because it is relatively easy to do!
I will learn ‘Your Way’ trapunto process and give these blocks even more life for my eyes and to all who view them.
I will post photos of my finished work!
I can’t wait to see your finished pieces! Let me know if you have any questions along the way…
