Bargello Help needed!
Good morning all!
I am attempting my first bargello ... sans pattern LOL ...
Here's what I have so far:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]508173[/ATTACH]
and a bigger picture
[ATTACH=CONFIG]508174[/ATTACH]
It will go up and out on all four sides (I've only got some of the sides and the bottom laid out)
My question: how the heck do I sew all these strips together? there are some that go up and down, and the ones on the side go sideways ... Or do I turn them around so they go in one direction?
Thanks

The way I've seen it done is you make enough strips that when joined are the length of the quilt you want. Sew your strata, then join it into a tube, still sewing the long seam of the strip. press flat. Now cut your strips to the width you want, lay them out by width, then pick out the correct seam to get your colors to run the way you want in the top row. don't know if this makes sense...

Take a look at these two done by a couple of our members. It may look like it was sewn both up and down and sideways but it isn't. In order for it to go together the width and height of each little square in a column need to be the same. Let your eye follow the pattern up and down to see what I mean.
There are several how to videos on u=tube you should watch. HTH I haven't started one yet but have been researching.

If so, the strips do go all in a vertical direction. You have to "fussy piece" the center section by eliminating certain pieces from the strip and then sewing them together. I hope this picture helps. PM me if I can help you further. You are on the right track and you colors are great.
