One of the first quilts I ever made was a bargello. Oh man, I held the fabric so tight that I stretched the center... HAH It turned out beautiful and is living in Finland but not sure I will attempt again. My cat also helped out by swirling my fabric strips around and that was a mess... Having a rack to hang your stips over helps tremendously.
The examples shown here are lovely. ALMOST, makes me want to make another. I made a trip around the world that I used florals in and it resembles a Bargello.....
