WOW..........for a beginner, new to quilting quilter, you have choosen quite a challenge!!! This quilt is beautiful but the work involved in a bargello can be very very intimadating to even the most seasoned quilter!! Ask me how I know, and I've been quilting for 40 years....have a private studio where NO ONE touches my work in progress quilts and the 2 bargellos I've made....well, lets say, I will stop at 2 altho I do see patterns that I would love to do but I know my limitations and level of frustations. Quilting should be a relaxing ''hobby'' not a chore to do. That said, I do have a lovely double interlocking heart pattern that I would be willing to share with you. Easy for a ''new quilter'' and stunning becasue of the double locking design. The quilt I designed had pinks and purples and was a Christmas gift for my daughter. The pattern can be done in any size....hers was a Queen. LMK!
