Wow your colors are gorgeous. I have that book, plus I have a class tomorrow at LQS to do a Bargello wall hanging. Our book is Beautiful Bargello from House of White Birches and we are doing "Mirage". I still need to go and cut my strips for tomorrow and label each color same as book. I am doing mine in pastels very similar to the book example, but the sample in the store our instructor made are more vivid and bold colors.
I think your colors look jewel like and are absolutely beautiful. Isn't it funny how things turn out so pretty with what we have on hand?
