I have made 2 bargellos, the first the pastel is based on a wall hanging posted on "all people quilt.com". I wanted a larger one, so I used a whole jelly roll and added a couple extra strips of the same collection. For the "Mountain Sunset" one, I used a variation of a quilt in Marge Edie's book Bargello Quilts from That Patchwork Place. I used 2 jelly rolls for that one. I'm not good at decision making, so I find using a jelly roll is a big help for me. The colors I want are all there, I just have to decide were to put them. And that is just as much an art as choosing the fabrics. The real fun is the surprise at the end when you see what you made.

I would say just goggle "Jelly Roll Quilt patterns". I would say that, that would keep you busy for a while.
