Wow Rachel ! That is an awesome quilt that you made! Love the fabrics/layout! I have a bargello on my list of projects to do also! I really like this pattern that you chose to do. I have not made up my mind as to which pattern I want to try first. Decisions, decisions.

Still having some trouble with wavy borders, and these borders needed mitered corners so there was another challenge, but in the end it wasn't a total disaster so I consider it a success. :)
I challenged myself to do more free motion than a meandering stipple so on the main part I did vines with leaves. The small border has a lace like pattern and the outside has a simple string of flowers. I'm proud that I made myself step out of my "safe zone" and try something different. Sorry about the flash on that picture. My pictures were coming out with a weird blue hue so I used the flash. I didn't remember until I was back inside that I had my white balance set on "inside". :roll:
On to the next project!
