Go for it, Cagey!! Bargellos are quilts that (I think) look much trickier than they are. If you press the seams right you can nest every single intersection. All the sewing is done in strips, you're never dealing with tiny fussy pieces.
I think picking out the fabrics is possibly the hardest part of making one, actually. That's the step where I end up spending the most time, anyway!
I want to try using Ombres in a Bargello. A "cheater" way of getting a perfect gradient! LOL
