I'll add my two cents, Barnbum -- Your bargello with the florals is breathtaking! I'm beginning to explore the possibility of trying my hand at a bargello, so I love seeing the photos of finished ones and even WIPs. Because I love batiks so much, I'd assumed that I'd make a batik bargello (when I get up the nerve to actually attempt a bargello, that is!), but after seeing the bright, happy colors of your floral fabrics, I'm rethinking my assumption -- I hope you'll post more photos as you progress, or at least post a picture of the finished product. I'll be watching out for it...
