I am wanting to make a Bargello quilt, and need to know how much material it takes? I know I need 11 different colors, but need to know how much of each color to buy.
Thanks for any help you can give this newbie quilter.

Do you have a pattern ? It should tell you . It will all depend on the size of the quilt , sorry I can't be of more help

not enough info for informed response

No I was reading about this on this board, but didn't see any mention of how much material it took. I think it was Barb someone who was doing the pattern. Thanks for answering though.

Holice thanks anyway.

check out this site. I also notice that just above your question on the main menu is a Bargello tutorial entry.
The site above appears to give some good info. they use 7 fabrics and 3/8 yd each. Not sure what size that makes.

forgot to give the site.

There's a thread "Bargello Tute" started by Kyiav10 that gives some yardage and it's a beginning to Barb_Mo's tutorial where she uses 11 fabrics. I don't know how to do the links.

Thank you very much.

You just buy everything you can get your hands on, you'll need it later for other quilts. hahahaa :lol: :lol:

I'm with you, Marsye!

That is me too!!! :D:D:D

Yup, just as much as you can afford. Build that stash! It never hurts to buy an extra yard or two of each fabric when making a bargello. If a cutting mistake happens, you don't have to try to get back to the store before it's sold out and if no mistakes happen, STASH. Just ask us, we know all about running out of a needed fabric.

my queen sized bargello had 20 different colours and I needed 1/2 a yard of each colour. I don't have much left.

I buy lots of most all my fabrics, then I should have enough to make about anything I want to make. Smaller amounts I use for scrappy quilts.

Go to Home page and at the bottom is the bargello tute. I am in the middle of making mine. Barb is very good about answering any question you may have.

have fun

Fix your favorite beverage, pull your shoes off, kick the recliner back and get comfortable.
Now put bargello in the search field and hit enter.
You will make yourself wild looking at all the bargello's that have been posted.
If you feel your arm getting wet, it is me looking over your shoulder drooling. I think they are so beautiful. I can't wait to make one and won't even read the directions yet because I have some things to finish up first. One member made a bergello for her first quilt. It was awesome. I can't wait to see yours. Yep, that is me drooling.
