need pattern sugestions
 

trying to make a quilt for a fireman. would like something that appears flamelike. have considered a bargello.

I would think a Bargello might look really neat in fire colors. If this site gets you to Serenity quilt, it is a fun one to make.

Let me see if I can find one of mine. Okay, see if that interests you any. I have also seen some great firefighters-type fabric too. That might be fun.

I hope this is helpful. Good luck finding what you want.

You might want to look at pre-package jelly rolls strips with oranges, red and yellows. I just bought a pattern called Fire Escape on eBay:

Here is a bargello called Dancing Flames from Craftsy: http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilt...g-flames/66873

Flame fabric is still around. I just saw it last week when I was shopping.

I love that flame Bargello! Thanks for posting the site.. :)

You could add some smoke to your bargello flames, for contrast.

this sounds really great! Good luck!

This would be a great pattern .... with rotary cutters it would go together quickly, too!!

I think Serenity is the one I used and it was a lot of fun. One caution--as I remember, the tutorial said to start stitching all rows at the same end. At the time, I questioned that. Sure enough, it came out as I thought it would--had a curve in it toward the end. Best to sew each row from the opposite end so it stays straight.
