BJ, don't let the look of the bargello intimidate you. It really is an easy pattern. Oh, not the round one she made, but the normal ones with only the straight lines are quite simple really. Mostly it is simply sewing strips of fabric together, cutting them into strips, sew these strips together with one offset from the other...what is tedious can be all the sewing and pinning. I'm a pinner! I think you'll really enjoy this technique. :D
