Trapunto quilting

Trapunto quilting

"Trapunto quilting" (Italian for "to embroider"), also called stuffed technique, is a quilting technique that is quite decorative in that it utilizes at least two layers, which is padded from the underside. This produces a raised surface on the quilt. This style originated in Italy in either the fourteenth century [ [http://www.museum.state.il.us/muslink/art/htmls/ks_tech_t.html Art:Quilts and Quilters:Techniques:Trapunto ] ] or the sixteenth century.
