Now I just have to find a pattern (I'd have to have a pattern) and I can get started. What fabric will you use on the back?
I am not sure what fabric I will use on the back. I actually think a natural muslin would look good, but I think I want a thicker fabric than the muslin I have. So, if I am going to buy fabric, I will probably go with one of the beige colors.
Like I said...just not sure yet.
You might want to google Bargello patterns. I seem to remember a free lap sized Bargello pattern when I was looking for one. I really did want a pattern, but none really matched my "mental picture."
Or....if you are interested in a curvy Bargello, Surf Song is the first one I made. It is a pretty pattern. It comes from a book by Eileen Wright called Twist and Turn Bargello Quilts. Let me attach a picture in case that might be the one.
