The American Heritage Dictionary defines Trapunto as "Quilting in which the design is outlined with two or more rows of running stitches and then padded from the underside to achieve a raised effect." The word is derived from an Italian word meaning to embroider and a Latin word meaning to prick. Many quilters simply refer to it as "stuffed work" or stuffed quilting. In short, Trapunto adds a 3D dimension to your quilting which really gives it a "Wow" factor, especially when using great fabric as Wendy did in her sample. :-)

I love the funky effect of this cushion and couldn't resist putting together a few ideas that would look equally good.
