I watched the serenity bargello tutorial by Northcott. Picked eight fabrics and made a small one before attempting larger ones. This helped me. You will have pieces left over and do a lot of stitch ripping and sewing back parts of strips back together. Really should making a key of what color you place where. I numbered a notebook paper 1 through however many strips (fabric) and taped a piece of each fabric to its # placement. Which the bargello patterns tell you to do).
