I am trying my first bargello quilt right now. It appears to me that the hardest part is selecting the fabrics - getting the right tones, but I'm sure there is someone at your LQS who can help you with that if you need it. Next most important thing would be to make a chart of all the fabrics you are going to use and the order in which you will use them. You cut them in the widths stated in the pattern, then you start sewing them together. This is an expensive quilt to make because some of the patterns use many different fabrics. I have cut my bargello out using seven fabrics and am now sewing them together. You sew the strips into loops and cut them apart where you need it to keep the pattern. I say all this to tell you that it is not as hard as the quilt appears. Give it a try. You might start with a simple one like I did before you attempt this one. Good luck.
