We made this quilt using the technique described in our Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Trapunto with Machine Embroidery
|
|
For the "Grape and Vine" quilt we used the designs from the cutwork Grapes and Vine Lace Set, and the cross-stitch design Grapes. The finished size of the quilt is 40" x 38 1/2".
The middle part of the quilt is a whole cloth piece measuring 35" x 33 1/2" (with 1/4" seam allowance, it is 35 1/2" x 34"). The borders are 5" wide. |
|
| First, we attached the borders, and marked the places for all of the designs. |
|
| The we embroidered the designs using Dream Poly batting as stabilizer, as described in the Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Trapunto with Machine Embroidery. |
|
| Then we quilted the top. The central part is quilted with a 3/4" x 3/4" grid. Stippling is used around all embroidered designs. |
|
| In classical trapunto the color of the thread matches the color of the fabric. We chose colors which match the central cross-stich grape design. |

We hope that you liked our idea and will try it out yourself.
