RitaR Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Jess that is just plain gorgeous. I do have one question. How did you get the white areas if you had colored fabric below it? Does it look white because it wasn't stitched down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfly Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Rita, the white areas that you see are simply the areas where there is batting on top of the brightly colored fabric. The areas that look light pink are the areas where the batting was cut away. The first step in the shadow trapunto process is when you attach your trapunto batting to the frame as though it were a backing and then stitch the top to it. Then you cut away the batting so it only remains under certain parts of your design. After that, you put it back on the frame with a layer of colored fabric, batting and backing. Sew it all over the place, then.....blamo.....shadow trapunto. Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoyVoltenburg Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 That is absolutely gorgeous. What kind of fabric did you use underneath the top fabric. And was the top fabric just muslin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfly Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Joy, Yes. The top fabric is just muslin and the fabric under it is a cheap piece of bright orange fabric that I got from Joann's. I figured...its going inside so it doesnt matter the quality. Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
