I have slowly been collecting material to make a Bargello. Told my DH this quilt would be his, so he is wanting greens & blues. I love M'Liss Blenders and that is what I am trying to find. So far I have 5 greens and 2 blues. I don't really care for the scrolls. I am not sure but I think the blenders have been discontinued. I just got back from Indiana and their Hancocks had them all on clarence. I sure hope not.
Anyway I have never ever done a quilt like this, so does anyone have any suggestions on the colors. Should I stay with M'liss or should I add something else. When it comes to choosing alot of colors I really struggle with that and would appreciate your input on this.

Those are my favorite blenders, I hope they won't be discontinued. I have wanted to do a bargello but it makes me nervise just thinking about it. There is a great tutorial on here that I may try someday. Good luck with yours and show pictures.

Believe it or not, you will not even notice the "scrolls". This is more of a quilt that deals with values and tones. If you feel you need more fabric, do not limit this to only one fabric line. I'm seeing where you could include Moda and Bali to complete your collection. I love your choices so far.

Believe it or not, you will not even notice the "scrolls". This is more of a quilt that deals with values and tones and gradations. If you feel you need more fabric, do not limit this to only one fabric line. I'm seeing where you could include Moda and Bali to complete your collection. I love your choices so far.

Don't you agree Sadiemae that there are other fabric lines that Verna could choose from?

I would agree. Moda has some beautiful blenders, and I kind of like the scrolls.

Dimples would work and give a different texture.
