Trap unto design Quilt. Trapunto originated in Italy in early 16th Century. Highly labor oriented design of bedding. Trapunto is a whole cloth quilting technique which produces a raised surface on the quilt. The leaves and straight line patterns are stuffed with cotton inserted from a small slit made in the backing fabric. A second striped back is then added to the quilt and normal quilting is done all around the previously stuffed shapes. Made in 100% fine cotton fabric having cotton fill & hand quilted. Machine wash.
