Trapunto quilting is an Italian method of quilting. This technique creates intricate patterns creating a raised texture of the pattern. Thick yarn or cotton is stuffed into the shape between the top and the batting using a needle, this puffs up the shape giving the quilt a three-dimensional texture.
