I just got the "Quilts Without Corners" book by Cheryl Phillips and I am going to do the Bargello in the Round, but I am not sure which is better to use the 9 degree wedge ruler or the 10 degree ruler. I have both but I thought I would ask if anyone had a preference for one over the other before I start. Thanks for any help you might have. :-P

I have done sever of those. I use the 10 degree wedge ruler. I didn't leave it in the round though. I added corners and made queen size quilts.

My son and daughter in law want me to make them a rectangular wall hanging about 36 x 60. So I will be doing the circle in the middle and then quarter circles in each of the corners. Or at least that is the plan.

I added a picture of mine for you to see.

She came to one of the guilds I belong to. She taught a class on these quilts. I didn't get to take the class but several people had completed quilts by the next meeting.

Wow that really looks gorgeous. I love your color scheme and putting the same colors in the binding just really set it off.

Wow they is amazing, I love it. I might have to try one.

Barb, that is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

Barb, beautiful!

I just love your quilt, It is beautiful. thank you for sharing and God bless. Penny

Your quilt is stunning.

I think I prefer to design my own quilts until I see something like this!! Then I get tempted to go buy the directions and make one!! Beautiful work, Barb!

Wow! Is that a difficult pattern? It looks very complicated.

Another beautiful one Barb

That is a gorgeous quilt. One more pattern I'm going to have to add to my list. It is only 39" long so far.

Wow, that is beautiful. I am so intimidated by them.

You shouldn't feel intimidated by them. I am starting the bargello round and it is even easier than doing the Ribbon in motion bargello that I did. If you can sew together strips of fabric then cut them with a ruler you basically can do the bargello round because that is pretty much all there is to it. You should really try it - you'd be amazed. :shock:

Your quilt is beautiful Barb - I've had the book and rulers for a while but have not got into that one yet - I'm toying with ideas of what to make with beautiful fabric I'm using to make star log cabin quilt leftovers - thanks for reminding me of that book

Are you doing the circle or the one that start a circle then twists back on in the other direction?

I have done Christmas tree skirts using the long wedge ruler. A lot of work but worth the effort. I just bought a small wedge ruler yesterday to try something similar to yours but on smaller scale.

I am doing the circle one, but when I am finished the wall hanging will be rectangular with the circle in the center and then one fourth of a circle in each of the four corners. The pattern that I am using is actually working out really well for this because as you are making the center circle you are creating another circle from the leftovers after cutting your wedge piece out. I am really amazed at how easy the circular bargello is compared to the ribbon bargello I did earlier.

I need to find the pattern for the circle that twists back on in the other direction. I have also wanted to do that one.

I have all her books, some of them come with the degree ruler. She says you can use either one. I have made her butterfly. I made two..

You have a lot of left overs. I sewed them together like a crazy patch and did the border, the pic are not that good, I need to retake all my pic in about 200 reso.
