I'm wondering, are there just too many seams to quilt over to be a practical hand quilting project?

IMHO there are too many seams to cross in a bargello. I have seen many quilt tops made with that pattern and under the very narrow strips there are 3 or even 5 layers of fabric you have to quilt through. You really need strong hands and maybe it only works with stab stitching...
I really don't want to do it.... |

I hand quilted a bargello once. Never again.

I am not a hand quilter, never done it, but I remembered seeing a post about a beautifully quilted Bargello that was hand quilted and thought I'll share the link for ideas, have no clue if was hard or not, but it sure turned out awesome.

I just finished quilting a Bargello quilt myself, I actually rented a longarm ( it is a 102" quilt) and just did wavy lines all across it, I very much like how it turned out. Godd luck on your :)
