I love the look of a bargello quilt but am wondering how to go about making one. Do you just sew strips together and do it that way? How wide? What lengths? Just experiment?

Get the book TWISTED BARGELLO, it is totally awesome. I think the process is easy, I just need the confidence to do it..will be from pale pink thru to dark purple batik. can't wait..Linda

I use 2 1/2 inch strips, usually 12 different fabrics. Press all seams one way. Then I cut the strips crossways, 1 inch, 1 1/2 inch , 2 inch and so on. There is a good tutorial on quilterstv. com
