Looks good. Should be a gorgeous quilt!

I too agonise over colour! I sometimes feel I spend too much time, rather than 'going with the flow'.

That said, whilst I love your blues, something about the yellow Nos. 6 & 7 jar with me. I can't make up my mind whether my eye is being drawn to 6 because of the more pronounced print or I notice it when my eye is drawn to the strong No. 7 (told you I can't make up my mind, lol).

However, if you've taken a black and white photo and are happy, then that's all that matters.

Happy quilting :)

Go for it, Cagey!! Bargellos are quilts that (I think) look much trickier than they are. If you press the seams right you can nest every single intersection. All the sewing is done in strips, you're never dealing with tiny fussy pieces.

I think picking out the fabrics is possibly the hardest part of making one, actually. That's the step where I end up spending the most time, anyway!

I want to try using Ombres in a Bargello. A "cheater" way of getting a perfect gradient! LOL
