I'd like to encourage you to make your bargello; it's not complacated at all. For example, your sew together strips of fabric, maybe 2.5 to 3" wide. Say, you use 10 colors. So, you sew all 10 together. Then, you cut the joined strips into different widths. You can start with a 3" width, then cut a 2.5", then 2" wide, getting larger and smaller as you go. I used 1/2 increments when cutting. Lay them out side by side and shift them up and down to get the pattern flowing. Label each column to keep them in order. Add more strips to the top and bottom of these to make the quilt longer. Does this make sense? I made a practice bargello which turned out really nice. It's my most favorite quilt!
