No, I didn't. This was suppose to be one of those gentle rolling bargellos. Not having had any experience, I cut strips out and this is what I got. To get the effect I really wanted, I should have used more of the wider strips. To make matters even more confusing, I sewed a couple of strips on the wrong end of the quilt! I thought I would never get it done. After this quilt, I need to try a different effect. Still pondering on which effect I want to creat next.
