[quote=barnbum]I was reading the directions for a Bargello quilt this morning and I'm starting to get it. :thumbup: But, if all the color strips are sewn together 1-20--in order to create the strips for the rows, one just takes out the stitches in order to get the colors needed? It just seems like a lot of unstitching, but I can see how that'd be easier than trying to sew strips in the order of the rows.... and the reason for the 1-20 sets is getting clearer and clearer. Just checking to be sure I'm on the right track.

Did that make sense?
Yeah, you are on the right track. I've done several versions of bargello quilts. I cut several widths of vertical rows from the strip sets and add them before I move on. That way, if you get them out of order some how, you don't ruin all the strip sets before you can correct your mistake. The process isn't hard - just pay attention and keep things organized! Good luck!
