Thread: My first Bargello

Oooooo! Awwwwww! Beatiful.

It's lovely. I would really love to try a Bargello. Was actually thinking of taking some paper to work and trying to make a design I could follow. I like tying, I have done it on a baby quilt that I made it turned out well.
Well done. :thumbup:

I love your quilt and the beautiful koala backing.

Thank you all for the great response! Here is the recipe I followed...

I emailed Bonnie and sent her a picture of how mine turned out and she wrote me back.

Bonnie Hunter was actually in Jacksonville this weekend for the Quilt Fest and I did not even realize it was her until late Sunday afternoon. lol She has a lot more I want to try.

Yes the backing is THICK. I remember snuggling under it as a kid and I know my son will probably snuggle under it now :)

Barb_MO, I am going to attempt your bargello soon. Now that I have this one out of the way and sort of know what to expect ;) I have already printed out your tut!

Your first bargello is really good work , love the koloa

Beautiful quilt.

You did a great job Wendy!!

Love it! How long did it take you?

Looks great! Colors are fantastic and I love the koalas on the back!!!

I love your quilt.

If this is your first bargello, does it mean that htere are more to come? Nice Job!

Just let me know if you need any help.

Thanks everyone!

Lynn, it took me about a month or so I guess. I had to juggle it with my son :)

Most definitely I will be making another one! I did this one to kind of give me an idea about the technique because I have never done tubes before. This next one I do will from Barb_MO's tut.

Thanks, Barb, I will take you up on your help when I get started on another one. ;)

Beautiful

I really like it! I'm not brave enough yet to tackle that pattern...

Great job. Love the fabric

Very pretty...I applaud you! I've been admiring the bargello for a while but am intimidated by it for some reason.

You exemplifiy what my quilting motto is- "Use what's on hand and make something beautiful out of it!" congratulations on your terrific bargello, and thanks for sharing.

Beautiful great work

oh my how beautiful i wish i had the nerve to tackle one like that

The quilt is beautiful. I especially like how the butterflies seem to be fluttering over the fabric!

P.S. The koala blanket is so cute, too!

I love it!!

I think you did a super job on it :thumbup: :thumbup:

Wonderful! I love the colors you used!! :thumbup: :D

Beautiful Bargello.

Good job :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
