Shadow trapunto quilt and colored thread
Here is another shadow trapunto quilt from my collection. It measures 25'' and because the trapunto design is not heavily quilted, it's so soft and fluffy! I love this simple design. What do you see first? The trapunto design (the white part) or the design made out by the lack of trapunto?
