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!
thanx all for your input |
I love ity. Wish I had the skill to do one like that. The colors are amazing.

The last bargello I did, I quilted from the back. I measured and marked all corners and midpoints, then drew the flowing design from there. It was a breeze that way and I didn't get distracted by the many colors on the front. Yours came out very nice.

Beautiful quilt! I like the idea of free motion following the design lines.
|
Very beautiful quilt!!
|
Oh wow, that is gorgeous but I can't look at it too long. LOL I agree I'd follow the lines but not everyone of them.
|
I am working on one, I can only pray mine will be as wonderful as yours!!
|
That is beautiful....

I just saw a gorgeous bargello at guild today. She quilted it on her domestic machine, straight line on the diagonal of the blocks. It made some places look curved. It was stunning!
