I found the following info for you when I 'Googled' it :

1. Trapunto is another way to add texture and dimension to your quilting. By stuffing or filling an area, then quilting it, a raised surface, or relief, is formed that gives shape to stems, leaves, and other motifs. It’s a very elegant look!

2. Trapunto quilting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Trapunto quilting (Italian for "to embroider"), also called stuffed technique, is a quilting technique that is quite decorative in that it utilizes at least two layers, which is padded from the underside. This produces a raised surface on the quilt. This style originated in Italy in either the fourteenth century [1] or the sixteenth century. [2]

3.In quilting, trapunto is creating raised images or sections of fabric on the surface of the quilt with batting.

Hope that this assists you!
