Oh my, yes I did hand quilt one. Never again. The seams drove me crazy, plus the woman I quilted it for didn't want to use a contrasting thread. So I did all this work that no one could see.

When I finished, I swore to myself that I would never hand quilt a bargello, or its country cousin log cabin. If I ever make either one, I'm machine quilting them.
