It's beautiful - I love your colors!
I've quilted a few bargellos for customers - I usually try to divide the quilt up into different sections, then put various fills in each, or sometimes diagonal lines to highlight certain sections.
Here's a photo of one bargello I did. You can see another example on my blog, scroll down to the end of the post - if you click the photo it will open a larger version.

It looks great k!! I saw the WIP thread while I was at work, so couldn't comment, but am home now. Did you do this with the tube method? That is the big drawback for me. I am so against unnecessary or "elective" unsewing, that the only way I would do a bargello is if it were strip pieced, like BarbMo's is. But another winner from our k3n!!
