By the way, did you end up with a curve in the piece when completed? I followed the directions as they were online at the time--said to always begin at the same end when stitching and I ended up with a nice curve toward the end. I didn't use the entire "foundation" but still have that extra with the curve in it to figure out how to use that.
Love your colors--nice job! |
Lovely quilt. On my bargello I quilted following the curves. Just stitch diagonally through the middle of the blocks following the colors. It was really simple, and I think it emphasized the bargello look.

What a beauty!
No help with the quilting, but I'd love to see it when it's done! Watson |
Pretty top! For quilting, I'd suggest following the curves of the bargello for quilting~

SID would be beautiful and show off the lines of the Bargello if you stair step the SID along the seams of the Bargello.

Beautiful quilt!! I also love the way you did the back. I will use this idea on ne of my next quilts. Sorry, no quilting advice from me.....that is always a hard part of quilting.

I don't know for sure where longarmers start their quilting but thought it was one side to other. I've seen where people say start from the middle and go out but Harriet Hargrave who is a master domestic machine quilter advocates starting at one side and going to other. I have two of her books and do it her way. Everyone has their own way. Craftsy has a nice class on using your walking foot to quilt. You might give it a look and see if you think it would help you. I enjoyed it.

My husband thinks I should do this too--think I will practice on a piece and then see how it goes. |

I Che's out her website but didn't see any books that specifically addressed machine quilting--i will look on Craftsy to see if I can find the class you mentioned. |
