Alright, all you people who have made those beautiful twisted bargello's!!! I have a question for you and would like your opinion. I really want to make a bargello. I found a pattern for a 12" bargello block and made it the other day. March 19th actually. I have found patterns for the rippled type but I'd like to make a twisted one. I don't have any books on Bargellos.
So, here is the question. I have been drawing out my own pattern for what I want and I want to know if you think it will work for my pattern? I understand the concept of making one, I think. :lol: Here is a picture of my "Experience" and a picture of the pattern I'm making. So, how about it???? You think this will work? I can't wait to hear what you think. And thank you for your opinions, in advance.

I too want to make a Bargello quilt. Hopefully, someone with some experience will be able to give you advice on your design. I really like it, but don't have the experience to assure you that it will work.:)

Check your library. If they don't have a good bargello book, ask about inter-library loan. Most libraries are connected to others and can find many more books for you than they have in their own shelves.
I just got a twisted bargello book from our library and took it right back! It was totally out of my league. I need to stick with the standard ones for awhile.
Look at QuiltersTV and see if the Billie Lauder bargello video is still up. I used it to make my first bargello and was very pleased with how it went together.

Danmar,
Here is the tutorial that cathieg wrote up on hers.
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-17516-1.htm
I bought the book and found out later that it was cheaper on amazon. Oh well ... I have been auditioning colors for one too. Funny if you check her tutorial out, look at the date. It must be that time of year. LOL!
