Thanks for your kind words :)

This is a rather straight forward design - cascade, no twist involved.

I googled it, and found a set of instructions online.

This is not a detailed, blow by blow set of instructions, but I figured out that all I needed is to vary the widths to make the waves go up and down. So I made the cascade by playing around with the widths.
That is the simple part.

The challenging part is how to create the "Oomph" by fabric choice. I had the most fun there.
I used a simple tool to help me - I arranged my fabrics (total 31 different fabric) in a straight strata, take photos of them, and put them into a simple picture editing software. I use Paint, found in all PC with Windows. I sliced and cut widths and arranged them up and down. With that, I can finetune my fabric choice.

Hope I didn't confuse you:) There are books out there that give more detailed instructions.

OMG that is one of the prettiest Bargellos I've seen. I want to make one but am so afraid of putting the colors together. You did a great job and I would never have dared to do that. Your choices were spot on. Love it.

It is a fabulous quilt! The fabric choices look awesome together.

This original poster hasn't posted since 2014, so you may not hear from them, but they shared this link for the bargello pattern used (it's in the post#133 above):
