For this video workshop, Leah has taken that simple project and elevated it beyond the basic tutorials to include trapunto, a special technique that makes the motifs in your wholecloth quilts extra puffy.
We've also punched up the intensity with three dense filler designs that will transform this simple wholecloth design into an eye-catching masterpiece!
