I agree with the others, a little more white to add contract would make it better.

Beautiful fabrics that would work better in a colourwash than a bargello. If you have too many fabrics that are close together, you get a very large area that blends, rather than ripples. This is OK if you want that effect. Colourwash quilts call for the blending, with a few 'zingers' thrown in to give it 'oomph'. whilst bargello tends to be more about the contrasts. If you are really clever, I suppose you could end up with a colourwash bargello. Putting the white in will break up the blending of the similar fabrics.

The second one has more contrast. I'd use that one. Also, I'd add 2 or 3 colors besides blue to make the quilt "pop," It should be very nice. Blue has a cool look.

I like the second arrangement best.

I would add a dark blue and another one of very pale blue on white . Although I love all the blues they are quite similar and contrasts are what you need I feel it will make it zing .

You have a great selection of fabrics. I think you need more color, I would add some yellows. Look at other bargello quilts, they usually have more color in them. Generally not all one color family. Can't wait to see your finished quilt. :thumbup:

There are two many blues with the same depth of color . you need almost a blue black and a very white blue Stand back from your fabrics and squint at them to see the sameness . Your depth of color is the problem .You have not enough color groups in blue.

I think you need a white, but then also you could introduce black

Like #2. Would not any more white as you have the one all white and the 2 blue and white.

Lovely colors.

I haven't done a bargello quilt yet but from your first picture of fabric I would say you don't have enough variation in the fabric and the bargello effect won't be as noticable. I like to combination of the second lot of blues you have. Think about the contrast and good luck. I love blue quilts so look forward to seeing how it works out.
