If you don't like the pattern it might be better to find one that you do. There's no incentive to work on a quilt that you don't like. Love the fabrics.

Very nice fabric choices, I like the pattern for these too. Can't wait to see what you make. :-D :-D

Beautiful

Red Garnet, your choice is lovely, but my heart went to the ones further down with the circular patterns. I'm still thinking a bargello with a few added fabrics and the stripe for the border for the OP.

Of course you can make a bargello without a pattern! Just draw it on graph paper. Draw the size/shape you want. Draw some (erasable!) lines to create the curves you want. Turn those lines into seam lines that are straight and divide the strips into individual pieces. Make a few copies of your drawing and start coloring. (I've always liked coloring in the lines - but still think outside the box.) Before you know it - you have a pattern. Don't forget seam allowances when you cut your fabric. You are ready to go.
I wondered how you were going to use 7 fabrics to recreate a pattern that only used three. You might want to add another couple of greens for your bargello so its introduction in the colorway isn't too abrupt. Just my thoughts. |
I wouldn't want to try one without a pattern. The heart looks easy. A wallhanging pattern is only $4.99 from epatternscentral.com by download. There is a tutorial on this site.

Your fabrics are gorgeous. If you don't like the pattern I wouldn't use it.
Hope you find something else that will make you enjoy making use of the fabrics |
