I am asking a dumb question is the red trapunto or applique

Either will work. Red would be my first choice.

OOps. I spelled it wrong. That is the name of the pattern

The red is just raw edge applique. I thought of doing Trapunto and may on my next one. I would especially like to do some trapunto "ghost" scrolls in the quilting. This quilt took me a day to put the top together and a day to quilt it. Very quick and easy!

One vote for black. Gorgeous quilt either way.

Here is your quilt with the black binding and also with the red binding. Maybe this will help you decide which to use.

Beautiful....Love the colors!!

Thanks so much. Definately Black. I think the Red scrolls and flower are enough. I'll use the black that is in the center of the flower.

I totally agree with you. I like the black best, too. Be sure to post pictures when you are finished. Thanks for sharing.

Red would look wonderful!
