    Don't be scared! The great thing about this quilt is that it looks much more difficult than it is. The bargello was actually the first quilt I ever made and I was surprised at just how easy it was. Oh, it sounds scary, what with words like tubes and whatnot, but don't let that scare you off. It's actually a very clever technique. Just think, once you get started, you've got an entire Forum filled with people who have done one before and if you get stuck there are plenty of us who would be glad to help. :thumbup:

    Thanks everyone for the vote of confidence :) Yes, CC that is the quilt. I certainly have used a LOT of my scrap...cleared out a whole bin!! Was going to have my DH help me today. I have a long quilting ruler and I was going to have him hold one end while I cut from the other but he went fishing instead...LOL He better come home with LOTS of fish...LOL

    What I was freaked out about is how big the tube is after you fold it in half. I think I'll try Michele's suggestion and fold it again....and hold on tight!

    I'll post pics after I get some put together...or I might yell for more help if I need to :)
