Trapunto Pattern - Reproduction of Museum Quilt

Recently I corresponded with Donna about an antique quilt she had shown which belongs to a local museum.  At first I thought it might even be a boutis, and Donna was kind enough to go and look again and take more pictures.  The quilt is a lovely white  trapunto, and she had the idea of reproducing the pattern to raise money for the museum.  So of course when the pattern was ready, I bought one.  If you are interested, go visit her blog.  The quilt is large, 88 x 88 inches, and the border is quite lovely.  Donna has included her instructions  for the trapunto.  Of course, this could also be made as a boutis, omitting the batting, drawing in channel lines and stitching and stuffing as for the boutis.  The cost is $40 plus $4.95 for priority mailing in the US. (No affiliation, of course !)

It's a really great project and an impressive pattern for both of trapunto and boutis!

Oh I can't wait to read more. Learning boutis' has been such a lonely art. :o)

I'll be bragging about you soon!

Hi Donna,
I'm glad you like the blog. I adore boutis and am sure I will always make them. I have been doing this for a few years now, you might want to look at old blog posts.
