I never really liked bargello. But after seeing the beautiful quilt you made and the pictures in Eileen's book, I want to make one. I would consider myself a beginner to intermediate quilter. Would I be able to make one without pulling all my hair out?

I wanted to put a couple of" Zingers" in . I think the hardest part is choosing your fabrics. I did free motion stipple on this one too, which I was a bit worried about, but it seems to have worked. Hope this helps.In other words---You won' t be pulling too many hairs out ,honestly. Go for it.

I looked for Eileen Wright and Eileensquilts on the board and couldn't find either one. Making a smaller bargeoo sounds very interesting. Thanks in advance.

Your quilt is super beautiful in every way. I have been drooling over Eileen's book for quite a while. I need to make a bargello before I drown. LOL
