The past 2 episodes of Sewing With Nancy were on bargello quilts. I think you can view them online.

What size did you make your blocks?

I wanted to make a bargello quilt, queen size, for my daughter, but thought maybe I would make a table runner first to practice and see just how bad it would be. To my surprise, it wasn't hard at all....actually very easy. The table runner went together in one day with no problems at all. It certainly makes the thought of a queen size one much easier. But do label all your fabrics and make a map...a small piece of all fabrics in order (each numbered)....and keep where you can see. It will help you keep track of what you are doing. Good Luck!

I put the strata together(strip sets) and I do not put them in a tube..I leave mine flat!!

I used the squaring up fabric I cut off the end, unsewed it and pinned it to the wall so I could make sure I was sewing every color in the order it should be.
