I bought my Bargello books from Amazon. Eileen Wright's Twist and Turn Bargello Quilts and More Twist and Turn Bargello Quilts were the first two books I got. The last 3 I bought are listed in the message here that I just typed. (should be two above this message...)

I also used this free online pattern as inspiration for one wall hanging. I just made it smaller. I don't know if a mini could be done, or maybe I just need to think on that. Hmmmmm.

I did find a Bargello book at a quilt show once, but I didn't buy it. I haven't seen any at my LQS. At any rate, I sure enjoy making these Bargello quilts, and if you are hooked, I hope you enjoy them half as much as I do.
