mini brown Bargello

I just finished this mini brown Bargello. It is for our guild's miniature quilt auction at our next quilt show. I am pleased with it, but I sure am glad it is done. I couldn't get it out of my mind until I had made it, and now I can get back to the project I took a break from. :)

Some lucky person should really love this quilt. Thanks for sharing with us

That turned out great!

Love it! Don't know how people work with those little pieces, but yours is great!

Thanks, I learned several things as I made this, which is always the case. In this instance, I learned that I could have done better if I had used fewer than 12 fabrics, the pattern would have presented itself better, and I learned there are easier ways to make a mini for our auction! :) Oh, I also learned that my math isn't as good as I thought it was, as this quilt ended up way too long and I had to cut off 4 inches of hard-sewn quilt to make it look proportional, and it is still a bit longer than I think it should be.

Luckily, I like learning...

Dina, Well, I think your quilt is fantastic! Somewhat subtle and peaceful I would say. Love that brown fabric with the daisy (?) on it. I first thought it was a snowflake but either way, it all turned out great. Wish I were there to bid on it.

Very cute. Those daisies are charming.

Yes, the brown fabric has daisies on it. According to all I have read about Bargellos, you shouldn't use a print as large as that or a print that leaves some of the squares with only a solid color. So I broke a few rules using it, but I really like that fabric. A snowflake would be good too. I like snowflakes also. :)
