I AM loving your quilt!
Thanks so much for doing this.
Hi sunflower!
The 'wedge' is just what I called certain sections of my bargello. Since I didn't have a pattern and have never made one before, I really have no idea what it is suppose to be called.
(Maybe the secondary pattern?) I just named it the "Wedge".
The "wedges" in my bargello are the purple sections.
When you look at my Bargello, you can see the main focus which is the "wave" that goes through it. There was "leftover" areas, that were not part of the "waves". I called these areas the "Wedges" that I needed to fill in. I did my "wedges" in different colors than my "waves", so they weren't included in the strips. Actually, I cut some strips of the main colors to begin with, and then just cut more as I needed them. I didn't have a clue as to how many of what to cut. Like it says, it was an experimental bargello.
I had only made a 12" block in bargello fashion before this so this was a "trial and error" type thing. Most patterns, including the one that I'm working on for this bargello, tell how many of what to cut. I was just guessing. I laid it out and changed it around until I had it made. If you read this entire thread, it will probably explain alot more.
Thanks for you interest and I hope this answers your questions. If not, let me know and I'll happily explain some more.
