I started collecting the fabric in November had a couple of weeks break over Christmas, and finished it in February, I didn't sew everyday only when i felt like it, I make to many mistakes if i sew when i don't really want to do it (not that that happens very often lol)

I LOVE your bargello top! Looks like lots of work! I like to quilt bargellos with the Swirls template fromm Circle Lord. It gives the quilt movement, but does not distract from the bargello pattern. Here is a photo of my Bella Bella Bargello quilted with Swirls on my longarm.

If it were me, I would first follow the lines of the dark squares. That would provide a warped diamond framework. I might even do two parallel lines through the dark squares, to set it off a bit more. Then you could do different FMQ patterns in different sections. For example, in all the blue sections, you could FMQ swirls. In all the purple sections, you could FMQ circles. In all the yellow sections, you could FMQ straight lines. Then in the smallest diamonds, you could do a little flower in each. Just something different in each color, but something you plan ahead.

This quilt top is really stunning! I wouldn't have thought of putting these colors together, but they look amazing! You have incredible vision.
