5 year UFO Bargello
 

I had over-quilted this Bargello (I had never quilted a 1" finished strip before) so the not quilted border was very wavy so I wasn't sure how to quilt the border. A few weeks ago, I decided to crosshatch the border. So here is is, another UFO finished. YIPPEE :)

Very pretty!!! Love the colors and it looks like the cross hatching tamed the border. Looks like it lies perfectly.

terrific finish

Very pretty! I need to take the plunge and try a Bargello.....yours is gorgeous!

Very impressive! gorgeous!

Nice work - your border looks great!

Too pretty to remain hidden any longer. Great!

It's beautiful! I love it.

Lovely. I'm glad you were able to finish it to your satisfaction.

Very beautiful Bargello!

Can you tell me how over quilting causes wavey boarders? Thanks

Beautiful bargello and love the colors and quilting.

That's very pretty!

It looks hard.

What do you guys do when you make those?

Do you sew a bunch of strips together, cut them and assemble, staggering each strip?

Beautiful colors. Exotic and wonderful design.

nice colour combo

beautiful quilt. LOVE the colors!!! great finish.

Very beautiful.

Glad you finished this beauty. It would have been a shame to leave it folded and waiting for a finish.

Love the colors. Looks like a rose in the middle.

Beautiful, so glad you finished it so we can all enjoy it's beauty and the gorgeous fabrics you used!

great finish!!!!

Love love love this! Great job!

very well done. lovely colors

Beautiful Bargello!! Your fabric choices are perfect!!

That is gorgeous. Isn't it amazing what treasures some of us have tucked away in our closets unfinished!!! I've got quite a few that I'm hoping to finish up this year.

Just wonderful, love the composition of colors.

Breathtaking quilt! The cross hatching was a great solution. It looks terrific.

Love your quilt. The choice of colors and fabrics are great!

I had to laugh at myself (not to myself) when I read your 5 yr unfinished Bargello. When I start a Bargello I become obsessed with working it from early morn. til bedtime. It's such a challenge it's all I can think about.
I now have the pattern for Long and Winding Road you guided me to & I actually started putting strips together in my sleep last night. I don't even have my fabrics yet. Now that is crazy, huh

Very pretty quilt! You did a great job on it. So glad you finished. That beauty needs to be on display!

Your bargello is outstanding !! I just love it & love the finished quilting in the border. Sets it off beautifully.

Your quilt is absolutely beautiful. It may have taken you a while to finish but as the saying goes "good things are worth waiting for".

Hi Dresi. The first item is to select your fabric. The strips are normally cut from 1.5" to 2.5". After sewing them into sets, then you start cutting the various widths. Some people have charts to refer to with what fabric is assigned a number. Then you sew them into a loop. By referring to your chart, you then know where you need to undo a seam. Lining the strips up on a design wall is very helpful. Here is a Bargello bed runner by the same designer.
