Questions on Bargello Quilts
I have recently become fascinated by Bargello quilts. I would really like some to find out exactly what a bargello quilt is, the basics behind it, and good patterns for someone who has never made one before. Thank you in advance.

Here are some free patterns, http://quiltinspiration.blogspot.com...lo-quilts.html
some oher patterns http://www.amazon.com/More-Twist-Tur.../dp/1604682590 and http://www.amazon.com/Twist-Bargello...d_bxgy_b_img_y
some more complex ones http://www.lockwoodquilts.com/store/...lo_quilts.html
They are not as hard as they look, żou just have to stay organised and do things step by step. I found the hardest thing was chosing the fabrics.

A quick summary of Bargello is that it was originally a form of tapestry stitch using varying lengths of colored yarns on tapestry canvas to create designs. It has been translated into quilts using varying lengths and widths of fabric strips to create similar style designs.
Most Bargello quilt designs use a progression of shades from light to dark of one to four colors (most often only one or two).
Hope this helps!
