Great fabric combo! You did a great job on your first Bargello. Mine is a UFO right now. Only 1/4 completed. Definitely need to get working on it again......

Well, you are right! I scored a bunch of free fabric in payment for helping a friend clear out her mom's stash and working at the yard sale - older stuff, not high quality, but still useable - and I am looking at blues and greens for a wall hanging!

Thanks for the encouragement. I think it was a good idea to start out with a small, easy bargello to get my nerve up to try a harder one!

Start with a small easy one like mine to get your feet wet. If you can follow directions, you can do it! Thanks for the kind words.
