TRAPUNTO F-T
Add a little puff to your quilting knowledge with this relief
technique! Trapunto, which is Italian for the phrase “to quilt,”
is a traditional technique that creates a raised or “puffed”
element to your quilt block, giving it some extra dimension.
This look is achieved by adding additional layers of quilt
batting underneath your base fabric in select areas of the
design. In this section, we will walk you step-by-step on how
to create your very own trapunto quilt block, so you’ll be a
master at it in no time!
