Loopy Trapunto

trapunto hearts and loopy edging

This little quilt is the result of a couple of online classes in a series from Philippa Naylor. The trapunto and the rouleau loops were in separate classes, but they seemed to work together. I really didn’t like the beige fabric I’d used in the trapunto, but it was what I had in the appropriate size. Beige — ugh. When it came time to practice the rouleau loops, I used a gradated fabric in shades of teal and a couple of other beige fabrics in hopes of brightening up the piece.

The feathered quilting between the trapunto and the edge is really too large; a better choice would have been some small, closely-spaced motifs. However, I was in a hurry to finish.

The finished quilt measures about 18″ square and was finished in July, 2020.
