Hi Dina,
I think I know exactly what you are going through! I have been making a lot of bargellos the last few years and am always looking for new patterns.
I believe there are good reasons for our bargello compulsion;
1. They ARE beautiful visually.
2. Bargello quilts are still kind of unusual, at least in my part of the world.
3. They appeal to those who may not like traditional quilts...especially men and teens, and so make great gifts.
4. Making a bargello is challenging and satisfying! They require quite a bag of tricks, especially color selecting skill, precision sewing of hundreds of seams, and finally, concentration and endurance!
Now, I NEED to go work in my garden, but I really WANT to start a new bargello!
