Vol 2 - Project 13 - Quilted!

A shot at Trapunto.  Only 8 blocks were done this way as it was my first go at the technique.  I enjoyed the process though and will be doing more of this.

Simple but pretty
 
I padded the four corner blocks and the four centre blocks, the rest were the same design without the padding.  The borders got a feather/cable treatment.  The quilt has a cotton batting and a cotton damask backing, with a lovely polished sheen to it.  Very classy!

A bit of stipple to pop that design up
 

 Compare the padded block with the unpadded one - I know which one I prefer!
