"Summer Rain" quilt
Wait until you see the quilts in Geta Grama’s new book, Shadow Trapunto Quilts! Your first question will be (at least it was mine), “How in the world did she make that quilt?”
If you know what shadow appliqué is (appliqué on a background with a sheer fabric over the top), then you have an idea what shadow trapunto is. The secret ingredient…the fluffy white trapunto…is batting. It’s a simple supply we’re all familiar with, but instead of hiding it between the quilt layers, it’s the star.
"Day and Night" pillows
Geta has developed simple techniques for creating these amazing quilts. The book includes instructions for 30 projects (yes, 30!) and she even includes a gallery of more amazing examples, plus a CD of the patterns so you can easily print them on your home printer. Of course, the patterns are also included in the book.
I can’t wait to make one myself. This is the most excited I’ve been about a technique in a while. And, with all the great things floating around the office, that’s pretty amazing. I’ve been an editor here at C&T for 20 years and this is one of my all-time favorites! Click here to see more projects in our Flickr gallery.
