I too have trepidations about starting something that looks and READS as complicated as that! But I had my confidence boosted recently by doing a Big Block Bargello I found on the internet. (I got it so long ago I don't even know from where!) Now I have made two of these tops from large floral prints and love them. They are on my stack to quilt next week! They have given me enough confidence to try a bargello and I have also learned the fundamentals of bargello technique from it.
