I didn't follow a pattern on this one, but I had thought the brown should go on the bottom, until I saw that it looked good upside down too. Still don't know which way I prefer. If I don't decide soon, I will really go with the two sleeves idea. I am going to follow a pattern with my next Bargello, as this "free lancing" stuff is harder than I thought!
When I researched bargello, I found reference to two needlepoint chairs in a castle somewhere, Italy maybe? Pretty interesting, I thought.
