Let me give you one tip for if you do decide to make one of your own. Try NOT to partially sew the strips like I did to keep it "Kitty-Proof"! lol It can be done that way, especially if there is no other choice, but it is very time-consuming and a difficult way to do it. Now, that being said, you can and should still sew it in sections. It will make it easier to sew if you sew it in 3 or 4 sections. Only difference is, do a full row section, (top of quilt to bottom), instead of shorter pieces (of the same rows) that will have to be joined later. I hope that made sense. If not, let me know and I'll explain it better.
I do think it was kinda funny that you said I must be a genius. I'm not sure that you'd find anyone else that would agree from around here. LOL I am so glad that you enjoyed the story of me making Swish! and how it got it's name. (From a fellow Quilting Board member.) It turned out to be a pretty long post, but so many people were following the story, I just kept posting. As of right now, 11/26/10, 12:50am CST, there have been 29,972 views of that post! I absolutely cannot believe it! I had no idea whatsoever when I started it, that soooo many people would actually watch and follow the story. It was an awesome experience and I am truly blessed with the friends and support I have from this board.
Well, I better close. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thanks again for your wonderful post.
Happy Quilting!

Thank you! I plan on posting again soon. I just haven't had a lot of time to be on here between life and the McCall's Quilting Contest. I did make a baby quilt since the 2nd Challenge Voting round started, that I'm getting ready to post now. Once the McCall's contest is over, I have a couple of quilts that I've been asked to make, that I will probably make here online again.
The first, I have already posted about on here. If you haven't read about it, here is the link to it.

The second one is going to be another bargello, completely original again, for my youngest daughter. She, April loved Swish! but she wants hers a "little different" so no one else would have a quilt like hers. (Or....at least she would be the first one to have it if I end up selling patterns for it again! lol)
Thank you for writing. I appreciate the support and it makes me feel good to know that people do enjoy what I post on here.
Happy Quilting!

It's all here in the very long story of My Experimental Bargello! Including photos of the completed quilt! You should check it out. It was the most awesome experience for me and several other people. You would probably enjoy the story. Thanks for writing.
