I love bargello quilts and have admired the work of many on this board who have posted pics. I decided to take the plunge and here is my version of Eileen Wright's "Infinity" from her book Twist and Turn Bargello Quilts. It measures 50" x 57". It is a much easier technique then I anticipated but my gosh is it ever labor intensive......and thread intensive! (I went through 2 spools) :)
I posted a question earlier asking for advice on a background color because I was afraid my blues would blend in with a black background. I took everyone's advice and carried a color strip of my fabrics shopping and ended up going with a black marbled moda. I decided there was plenty of contrast. I'm thrilled with how this turned out!! Now my questions is.....how do you quilt a bargello. There is so much thread in the quilt top already. What does everyone else do for quilting??? Thanks everyone for looking :) Blue Infinity Bargello [ATTACH=CONFIG]165697[/ATTACH] Close up of fabrics [ATTACH=CONFIG]165698[/ATTACH] Background fabric [ATTACH=CONFIG]165699[/ATTACH] |

No advice on quilting since I've never done a bargello quilt. Have you considered emailing the quilt designer and asking for a suggestion? I'm sure she would appreciate seeing your quilt top. You did a fantastic job of color/fabric selection and should be very proud of your final art piece. Thanks for sharing.

This is a fabulous quilt. You did an outstanding job on it.

Absolutely stunning! I am getting ready to take a Bargello class so if mine turns out anywhere near as beautiful as yours, I will be one happy camper. Great job.
