Infinity bargello quilt
 

This pattern is 50x57.5
I need to enlarge for Queen size bed. Pls help me determine width of each row. If doubled it would be too big. Tx

First - welcome to the Quilting Board.
Second -Do you have a link to the pattern? Or a picture of the bargello you are interested in making?

I think you need to add the repeating pattern to the left and right working your way outward to get to your desired size. I'm a newbie and I want to tackle this next. Someone pointed me to this free link library and search for the book braided bardello. https://openlibrary.org/

That book has charts (similar to an excel document). That you can follow to get an idea of what widths achieve the "rise" and "fall". Each column ranges between 1/4" to 3 1/2" at 1/4" increments. Meaning to achieve a slow fall or rise is the widest at 3 1/2" column and the quick fallor rise would use the smallest widths 1/4" in succession.

I can't easily do that to this pattern. It's very different. Tx anyways!

this shows some patterns

Welcome to the boards.

With the name I was able to find a picture via "Eileen Wright Infinity" as the search term.

What I usually do enlarging patterns is count the number of rows/squares -- this is quite a bit more complex as the rows vary in width... But I would start there by counting the number of rows. If you added just 1/4" to each piece (both vertical and horizontal) with all those seams it would change the design a bit but still give the overall effect and most of the size you want.

I think the easier idea to make it larger would be to add a border using the outer curves of her design where it forms the V, I think 3 of those units per side would work -- you would also need to figure out how much background it would take so those would fit nicely. I'd probably just use corner squares of the background and not try and make the design meet.

one of these? https://quiltinspiration.blogspot.co...bargellos.html

Thank you sooooo much! Your explanation was so easy to understand! This is for a customer and I'm not crazy about pattern, but will do my best to find sage and purples at store today! Do you know how to download pics to this site?

I don't know what your bargello looks like but when I made my one and only bargello, so far, I added borders and extended the main fabric into the border as if it was running right off the page. Just a suggestion.

Adding photos is harder for some of us than others -- a lot depends on how you are doing it, that is via a phone or desktop or what. There are various help options in the Help subforum. It took me about a year of off and on trying and frustration, some people figure it out quickly and some people just give up!

This recent discussion has quite a bit of suggestions:

My main issue is that I use an old school digital camera and I have to reduce the file sizes (which I outlined in the thread above). There is some phone help in this one:

As I was drinking another cup of coffee, while I still think just 1/4" wider of each strip would work, I'm not sure it is as simple just to add 1/4" in length... I'd have to graph it out to make sure. The issue is the pieces aren't all square.

Still think the easiest thing to do is add borders :)

I was looking at https://www.amazon.com/Twist-Bargell...dp/1564779432# and read some of the reviews. One seemed to think most small and another said most full size.


One review that may be of interest

Is this is the one? This is gorgeous. I like balanced things & this is bargello appeals to me more than a lot of them. I agree either enlarge all the pieces, &/or add borders. You could even do a bargello border for your enlargement, keeping the scale for the center as the pattern.
A measurement I have for a queen mattress is 60 x 80 inches. Your pattern is 50 x 57.5 inches. To just fit the top of the bed, you will need another 10 inches across the top and 22.5 inches in length. Now you have to add overhang to cover the mattress and a turn under part for the pillows. Lots of decisions to make. I would leave the pattern as is, then add background to upsize the quilt to the queen size bed top putting the extra length on the top. In other words, when you add 5 inches to each side to get to queen size, only add 5 inches on the bottom, then put the extra 18.5 inches on the top. This would center the bargello and leave it as the focus. When I got to the drop, I would probably do border rows with the colors in order and increasing in width to get the look you want.

My 20 minutes ran out.....the last part of my suggestion.
I would probably do the darker colors so that the quilt fades into infinity. Or if you go dark to light, it will emphasize the lightness in the center. Either will work.

Thank you!

The site uses BBcoding, so you just need to upload your image to a host that can provide you with a coded-link. Quiltingboard has an in-house option for this. If go into USER CP and click on PICTURES AND ALBUMS, you can create an album and upload your images to it. Clicking the image will give you a page with the picture and links below.

Looks like this. The second link- BBcode can then be copy/pasted right into your post to have your image pop up.

It has the benefit of putting all your images in one place for other site members to checkout, but two big detriments 1. Images have to be 600x600 pixels which means you need to resize them before you upload. Some computers make that easy, and some do not. 2. The images get a little degraded (Do not take kitty kat as an example. I cut some corners on screencapping and resizing so it was pretty fuzzy even before the upload.)

The other option is to use an outside site for hosting. I recommend ImageBB. It's free, super user-friendly and has an option to resize your images built in. You will need to click the embedded codes menu and scroll down to the BBcode options to get the one you can directly copy/paste into posts.
