The pattern for the bargello is a tutorial here on the board by our talented member Barb_MO, I did it in subtle fall colors (new approach the subtle part) and using it for our bed. I rented a longarm for the first time to quilt it, used wool batting (heavenly light and soo soft) and quilted it all free hand with some wavy lines all across, I think it turned out it great for a novice! I had the quilt on a zipper set and took me total 2.5 hours to quilt this 102'' square Bargello :shock: Including loading time, how spectacular is that? I loved the experience!

Thanks all for looking!
