I am curious, how many fat quarters would I need to do a bargello quilt? I am not looking to do a large quilt. Lap quilt size is what I want. I have never made one of these and I want to attempt one. I have some fat quarters to use ...Anyone make a Bargello with just fat quarters...is what I am asking hahahaha...sorry for the rambling :oops:

you need the full WOF --- short pieces won't give you the length to get your strips.

Thank you so much. Ill find something else to do with those fat quarters then ;)

You could do the scrappy bargello on Quiltville.

Her pattern uses 128 2-1/2"X16" strips, so you could get 8 strips if you cut the width of your fat quarter, which should be 16". You could also use any strip scraps you have or ay fabrics that you like that would be at least this size.

You could do a Yellow Brick Road or Turning 20 with your fat quarters-

i did mine with 7 fat quarters. i did all strips 2.5 in. i haven't taken a pic yet.

I saw this one and I might try it. Thanks. :)

Ive seen this as well and want to try them :) I have so many patterns I want to try hahaha

ohhhhhh Please do post a pic...I can't wait to see it! :-D I have 7 fat quarters too. So I am very interested in how yours looks!

I made the scrappy for a 5 year old in bright colored fat quarters. It was really cute!
