That is one beautiful quilt, girl! Must say you were a brave gal annoucing your goals--I would have been worried that I'd get side-tracked by something, like LIFE, and then felt like I'd failed. You've got quite a following here cheering you on and we all envy your "camping trip". Way to go!!!!

stunning!

I am not a big fan of bargello. But, this quilt is going to be a-w-e-s-o-m-e.

I vote for no border & use the darkest red you have in the quilt already for the binding.

glorybound 05-26-2011 12:20 PM

I wouldn't do a border either, but use a dark red binding. In your message I hear the fun you're having - Sweet!!!

The yellow square is like that because a light is shining through it. I love the look of this quilt very much.

Absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished product.

I have the same pattern and have selected and purchased 20+ fabrics. I have really been afraid to start it because I have never done anything similar to it. Keep up the good work. You are inspiring me to give it a try

gypsylady5 05-26-2011 02:25 PM

Wow, that is really stunning. Maybe you have given me courage to try one. I have so much red that it would be easy to find all the fabrics I would need.

Keep up the great work.

echoemb 05-26-2011 02:26 PM

WOW that is pretty and I'm not a red fan.

Marilynsue 05-26-2011 02:38 PM

I think you should use a black binding. It's subtle and doesn't distract from the quilt itself. Wish I were brave enough to try one.....maybe one day.

Beautiful and I agree with this post...

Irene Frohreich 05-26-2011 03:02 PM

I am a red fan and love your quilt, use one of the darker reds to bind with. Great job.

Homemother 05-26-2011 03:02 PM

I am picking my jaw up off the floor! It's turning out beautifully! Great job!

It is wonderful work and I do like the red too.

simbasue22 05-26-2011 03:09 PM

I agree, one of the darkest reds will frame your beautiful piece of work....love bargello quilts, and you came up with a great one

mayra 05-26-2011 03:20 PM

I hadn't looked for a couple
of days. You are doing an
amazing job! Can't wait to
see it finished. Hugs, Sharon

TacoMama 05-26-2011 04:11 PM

I agree with the darker red for the binding.

Fabric Galore 05-26-2011 04:16 PM

I love bargellos and I have made several of them but yours is superb. I love red but I've never had the nerve to make a red quilt. I am definitely having second thoughts after seeing your fabulous quilt. I agree that it doesn't need a border; just bining. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Janice Thompson 05-26-2011 04:20 PM

Beautiful. Binding--either dark red or black I think the black would finish it off nicely. Yes do keep us posted with the finished quilt

RIDGEFIELD 05-26-2011 04:49 PM

What a nice color you chose. Someday I will post a picture of my first quilt which was a bargello.

canuckninepatch 05-26-2011 05:40 PM

What a gorgeous quilt!!! I vote for black border/binding.

bjesso 05-26-2011 06:31 PM

It is brilliant.

llcathey 05-26-2011 07:49 PM

beautiful can't wait to see it completely finished

bjdemir 05-26-2011 08:02 PM

You are making great progress. I would use one of your darkest reds, or possibly black. Keep us posted.

DoraElizondo 05-26-2011 09:58 PM

It's beautiful!!!

sewhat540 05-27-2011 02:53 AM

It is just beautiful.

I have never done a bargello. I think that I'll have to put it on my quilting bucket list.

BarbaraA 05-27-2011 03:29 PM

Wow is all I can say. I wish I could coordinate fabrics like that!

KSue 05-27-2011 05:34 PM

That sure is a beautiful quilt you have.

Stitchit123 05-27-2011 05:43 PM

Its georgeous I think the darkest color would set it off the best

This quilt is so so so so fun to make. I am happy to have insipred others to give it a try - you will love it.

I am just here camping for the week and then I return home to the three kids, hubby, and multiple pets. I want to get as close to done here as possible.

I would like to know what you think I should do for the binding/border. I was not planning to put on a border. What color would you recomend for the binding. Someone did say that any more red might be too much :) Should I use a color other than red?

That yellow square on the top left is not actually there, not sure what it is. This is the bottom half.\ of the quilt.

Dear fry, Your quilt is wonderful. There is some eye candy you might enjoy in the newest issue of American Patchwork & Quilting, august 2011. You are in good company! :D :D :D There is a Border to behold on a bargello quilt! I think onre of the darker reds would be great for the binding.

MissQuilter 05-29-2011 08:11 AM

I would agree with the folks on the darkest red fabric you are using for binding. It is absolutely beautiful!
