Default I won it!

I attended a charity event a couple of weeks ago to raise money for our local emergency shelter and bought 3 tickets for this gorgeous bargello quilt valued at $1,700. Lo and behold, I WON IT!!! The picture doesn't do justice for the colors or burgundy, teal, navy, salmon, tan, ivory, nor does it show the whole quilt. It is a queen sized quilt and part of it is hanging over the back of what I have it draped over. I was so excited to win it. Thank you Charlotte for making and donating this beauty!!!

Oh my, it's a beauty for sure. I'm glad you won! Your appreciation and excitement of the workmanship and use of color is the greatest compliment to the quilter. Enjoy using your new quilt.

Beautiful Quilt! You were very lucky. I always thought Bargello's had different size strata widths in them. The quilt looks more like Eleanor Burns Trip Around the World to me, mostly because all the squares are the same size. Regardless of what you call it, it is still a very, very pretty quilt and will look good wherever you choose to use or display it.
