    A nice dip in the tea will calm that stark white, eh? <wave>

    Very nice Lisa. I agree if you put it in the washer that has about a glass of tea mixed in with the water first, it will absorb the tea & look more subtle. Your fabrics look like cottons of better quality, so I don't think you'd get streaking if you make sure to let the washer run about 30 seconds, turn it off, then put in the top. Don't let it stay in long & turn washer back on, then do rinse cycle twice. Good luck.

    I love it! The white is neat and a fun contrast. Aren't bargellos fun? You did a beautiful job with choosing colors and piecing!

    I think it looks like a shimmery puddle. It's cool!! Bargellos take on a theme of their own and yours is unique--there's a story there. I like how the bottom is defined--then it blends more... like the gray areas of our thoughts. Like someone in a Physics class starting to day dream. That's it!! It's name is Daydreamer:-D

    I like your bargello. The white is a stark white, but looks like a dividing line to me.

    The white was a little more contrast than I would have preferred between the dark pink and dark purple, but it worked well between the light pink and small print.

    BUT....... this is YOUR quilt done your way and it is BEAUTIFUL!! Job well done!

    Your quilt is beautiful. I love bargellos. I bought a kit at a quilt show I went to and it is bright colors and has some white in it. I say go for it for your next bargello.
