    Most of these fabrics were found at the Road to Calif. quilt show and some I had in my stash. Would like your opinion on what I have. I am making a heart Bargello quilt. Do I have enough of a mix? The quilt is for my DDIL and she loves purple. Anything I need to change? Hopefully I got the two correct pics posted. I only changed out the fabric to the far left in pic #2. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

    I like the first grouping better, but I have not done a bargello yet. I am sure other can be more helpful. Love your colors!

    the person who taught me bargello said to make sure that the very first and very last go together, too, as they are going to be sewed together. I think it is going to be gorgeous, but can you find a transition fabric that is both turquoise and lavender/purple for the very end (after that last turq. on the right? Just my idea... :lol:

    Those are beautiful fabrics. I think they would make a wonderful bargello .

    The dark one, 4th from the right looks out of place to me.

    Yes, thank you for the suggestion. There are a couple of fabrics that have both the purple and turquoise I could put on either end. I could actually reverse the turquoise fabrics that will put the lighter values of both purples and turquoise to the center. Was just trying to get the fabrics together. Can play with their placements some more. TYVM.
