You could probably find a pattern book at your LQS.

I found a few sites with the tube method http://www.ehow.com/way_5832790_inst...technique.html
The next two have pictures so easier to follow

And this is the needlework design that quilts were designed after

Boy that is way over my head! But beautiful!!

Thank you so much. I can visualise the tube method now and feel as though |I can have a go. Can anyone here do a tut for us?

My absolute favorite site for free instructions and free patterns is:
www.about.com
on the Right side of the screen, under Topics, choose quilting.
then you will have hundeds of things to look for - tutorials, blocks, quilt patterns, you name it. And everything is FREE. gotta love it! :thumbup:

Thank you. Just going on it now.....

i hope these open.

i'll try this another way.

Barb - I love your bargello!! I love browns and neutrals and this is just gorgeous!

Here's a bargello I did for my FIL. He generously allowed me to "borrow" it back so I could put it in a couple of local shows and the state fair. Sadly my FIL passed away and now it hangs in my MILs living room as the focal point for her room. I made the initial cuts at 2.5 inches and once I sewed everything together, I made the subcuts at varying sizes, from 2.5 inches to 3/4 of an inch.

EDIT: Holy smokes! I didn't even realize I was in the picture. Don't look too closely at me, just the quilt! (Geez...)

Beautiful quilt... well done !!!

Thank you Joy!
