Learning the "bargello" technique
#11
Great first bargello!!
I agree, a smidge more contrast between the three light colors would have been good. I also might have swapped the placing of one of the fabrics ... from the upper left corner - the third fabric down which is a pinky-purple I would have moved it down one fabric (so it is between the light purple with dark purple small flower and the mottled pink/purple).
There are two phases to choosing the placements of color ... value and color.

Nice job on your mini bargello. Your cats will love it even more if you back it in an ultra-cuddle fabric from Joanne's.

I am hoping to make some fabric decisions soon. Luckily, I am enjoying the search.

It's beautiful! I'd probably have used white instead of that last light as it is similar to the other one just next to it. I think. I'm gathering my energy and focus to attempt my first bargello sometimes in Dec/Jan.
