Can you tell if I have these arranged from light to dark? (I will buy a new cartridge tomorrow, If I decide to venture out on Black Friday. I normally avoid that shopping day.
Thanks,

Dina, I have really learned a lot about fabric choices for the Bargello thanks to your question. Sue is an excellent teacher. If I didn't have so much started and not finished, I think I would be digging in my stash for fabric to make one. I can't wait to see your finished quilt.
By the way, I know what you mean about shopping on Black Friday. I don't shop at all that whole week end after Thanksgiving. Good luck with your quilt!

Top one looks great. For second, here is a suggestion. Starting from top dark fabric count down to 4,5,and 6 remove them and place them right after your 2nd fabric. Now the 3rd you removed, you place where 6 u, then jump down to 10, move that where 11 is and move 11 where 10 was.
