    [Remember seeing the beautiful scrappy bargello done by Shadow Dancer (dated Mar. 2) and began to seek the pattern. So far, have not come up with anything with the graduaded shading that she used. And then the braided border - I've tried the suggestion of doing half of a log cabin but can't quite figure the application.
    Can anyone steer me to a source?

    Thanks for any help!

    I'm unsure yet it I'll ever do one, but yours really inspires me to try it at some point. I went ahead and reposted this as a hot link for you. Thanks Shadow Dancer!

    Read through the directions for the scrappy bargello--but yours is so semetrical--how do you line up your colors to blend? Do you make equal numbers of strips with the same selection of fabrics? And--how do you do and apply each braid to the other???? Sorry to be such a dunce!!

    I grouped my fabrics according to color, then arranged them from light to dark with a transition strip into the next color. I made 36 strips of 40 squares in each strip, following the directions you have to stagger your strips to get the up and down effect that makes the ripple. I did mine in groups of 12 strips at a time then sewed them all together and added a narrow border to frame the quilt center and then the braid border and finally the last narrow border on the outside.

    The braid pattern is on the same site and is really easy to make.

    Hope this helps.... :)

    The part I don't understand is after the tube is made from the strips, and then the tube is cut into 2.5" strips--then what? Is that seam taken out? Is it taken out it different places? It feels like there's a direction missing in there..... :?: :?:

    You undo the seams depending on which color you need for your next strip to start. I didn't do the tube thing and then cut strips...i did my strips and then sewed each one into a tube and undid the seam where I needed to. :)
