I love the colors you chose, and it's going to be beautiful! I haven't made a bargello yet, but have always wanted to. The first quilting book I bought was a bargello pattern book, using the strip-tube method. Is this what you are doing, or some other way?

Its beautiful.
How much fabric does it take roughly to make a bargello? Any rough ideas? |
You go girl! Your quilt is looking beautiful.

I am very pleased with what I am doing. :) I did spend FOREVER selecting fabric, but that is just me. I watched my sister yesterday select her fabric in about 30 minutes. She has been quilting 15 years though, and this is just my 4th year. Dina |

I have 8 purple and 12 blue. The one I am making is actually labeled a wall hanging, 46 inches by 48. Once I get some Christmas shopping done, I can get back to work on it. I can't wait! It is called Surf Song and it is from a book by Eileen Wright called Twist and Turn Bargello Quilts. The instructions are very good, as long as you read them several times.
