I must say it looks a lot better in a photo than in person!

There were two sections that didn't go together well--too many seams were off, so I ripped it apart and sewed it from the other direction and it went together much better!

Now to decide on borders.

I cannot figure out how anyone can design these Bargellos! The directions say we might want to make it bigger.... Ha ha ha ha ha. :lol: :lol: I couldn't figure that out if my life depended on it! My hat off to anyone who can!! I'm thinking about danmar and her Swish!! :-D

I've decided to use the extra strips for either an easier Bargello pattern (Surf Song) OR for more log cabin squares--like are in my most favorite quilt ever.

Your Bargello is stunning!! Gorgeous!
