Help - Choose an insert strip for Bargello
It is a challenge to come up with various ideas for a 12 x 18" quilt top that will be made into a Bible bag. I found this blog on a Bargello design and thought I would try it. Not use to working with 1" finished strip so instead of trying to sew another strip, I am going to add an accent strip to give me the width I need. Right now the quilt will only be about 11" wide. Which color do you think looks the best?? I am leaning towards the dark brown in photo #3. Wish I had a brownish black in my stash. THANKS for your help !!

I like the brown on the far right. However, if you only have enough of the dark brown then I would use that fabric and, as someone else suggested, use the dark brown fabric for the handles to tie the colors together.

Hi there - I like the brown, and what a clever idea. I've finished my Bargello top, but think I am going to add about 6 more strips to increase the width a little. I'm so glad this is done. That night I slept all night for the first time in weeks. Next time I make one I won't be so stressed. Lol
