Beautiful quilt! I have no comprehension of what it must have been like to make it. It looks so complicated to me.

Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous, and I love your color choices. Sorry, but I have no idea about a quilting design, but an intricate pattern would be lost, so I would opt for something simplre that would enhance the design of the bargello.

Bargello quilting

I've down several Bargello quilts. The first one I did, I SID - bad, terrible idea - it didn't look bad, but all the turning was a nightmare! So now, I FMQ, usually treating several similar colors/rows as one. I'll choose a color that would look good on those several rows and then do some sort of design, whether its a feather, or just meandering, across those rows. Then I change thread as the colors change. I've drawn on this pink ribbon Bargello to sort of illustrate what I mean. Sorry it's on it's side - don't know what happened!

Fabulous job!! It's just stunning. Like others, it's on my bucket list...someday. I think the best suggestions are from Dunster and Quiltmom04. I have seen bargellos that had truly blah quilting and unless it's practically invisible, it detracts from the beauty of the quilt. I think the feathers or some type of design will enhance the quilt. Good luck and post pictures.

That is beautiful. I am so afraid to start one. I have a book and read the patterns but I am so intimidated and that is a lot of material to just jump into cutting it if I can't finish it. I don't know anything about the quilting but thank you for sharing your quilt.

It's beautiful! I'm also "all ears" when it comes to the advice some will give you. I've not made one yet.
