Name of Pattern: Bargello Table Runner
Book : Twist & Turn Bargello Quilts
Author: Eileen Wright
I wasn't impress with the color choices in the book so I thought to try the pattern with Christmas fabrics. This is a really easy pattern for people who have this design listed on their bucket list. I wanted to try something different for the backing. I had heard a lot of chat on the board with the disappearing 9 patch so I thought that it would work as a backing. Some of my best backings where enlarging standard blocks. I was VERY lucky that the final backing size was just 2 inches longer and wider than the quilt. I used a Multi Color YLI thread on the backing and solid Rayon thread for the front. I cut a 2" double fold binding..
