What is trapunto?If you’ve ever admired the beautiful embossing on a vintage book cover and wished you could use that same look in your quilts and pillows, you might try trapunto. Trapunto is an Italian term for a style of quilting that creates designs in high relief. What trapunto means is that your quilt features great contrast in the loft of the design, giving it that lovely “embossed” appearance. A very good definition you can find in this article from the Textile Research Centre (Leiden, the Nederlands): Trapunto.Textiles featuring the trapunto technique date back to at least the thirteenth century. A portion of the oldest trapunto quilt ever discovered hangs in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Called the Tristan Quilt, it’s from the late 1200s and depicts scenes from the famous Celtic story of Tristan and Isolde. A second portion of the same quilt is on display at Palazzo del Bargello in Florence. Experts believe both pieces to be segments of the same textile, and both feature early efforts at what we today call the trapunto technique. But what is trapunto quilting at home? Can you recreate the effect? And how difficult is it? Because there is no question about its beauty.Trapunto means finding a design you adore and transferring it to fabric for trapunto quilting.
