Shadow Trapunto Quilt No. 2

I finished the second one, yeah!  When I started with them last year, we intended to hang them above our bed on both sides, but that spaces will now be filled with two of the stained glass embroidered pictures.  So I stitched away on this one not quite knowing what to do with it, but I found a place on the coffee table, so no time wasted.

I finally managed to finish this Shadow Trapunto Quilt. It took a few nights of pebbling to got the whole background done with the yellow/orange variegated thread as I have to be super cautious not to put too much stress on my neck and shoulders as not to cause migraines.  I still have another one to finish though.

All the cut out work done and this baby is ready to be assembled on the beautiful Langa Lapu Rainbow fabric which are manufactured locally.

You can visit their website here where you can look at their whole range.  Below is a screenshot of just a few.

For 2019, our quilting group (the Rotary Cutters) decided to stitch Shadow Trapunto Quilts.  My daughter bought me this book by Geta Grama and we each choose a pattern.

I decided on the Indian Summer pattern and enlarge it to make two identical wall hangings for my bedroom measuring 600 x 800mm.

The pattern was printed on paper and pinned to a layer of organza and 1/2" thick batting.

The whole pattern is then stitched with invisible thread.  Below is a picture taken of the back after all the stitching was done.

And now for the careful and tedious process of cutting the excess batting away without snipping the organza layer.

This will keep busy and out of mischief for quite some time!
