[quote=barnbum]I was reading the directions for a Bargello quilt this morning and I'm starting to get it. :thumbup: But, if all the color strips are sewn together 1-20--in order to create the strips for the rows, one just takes out the stitches in order to get the colors needed? It just seems like a lot of unstitching, but I can see how that'd be easier than trying to sew strips in the order of the rows.... and the reason for the 1-20 sets is getting clearer and clearer. Just checking to be sure I'm on the right track.
Did that make sense?
I too really resisted the "unstitching" it is counter intuative . I only unstitch for mistakes. But once I tried , and got the hang of it I have been making lots of Bargello quilts, wall hangings , pot holders ... you name it. The method is a bit disorientating at first , but the logic will appear , and the unsewing will seam like a simple way to get great results.
Please post your finished project.
