I fell in love with the looks of bargello patterns, but found it more difficult using the traditional way of unpicking the seams. I fussed with my first one, and ended up devising a way that it made sense to me - just one extra step, but also taking one away in the process - so I guess it worked, lol. Anyway, here are a few of the first ones I have made , using all the same sized strips. I am venturing out to doing them now with the varied sized ones that most bargello's say to cut.. one inch strips sound SO daunting.. hope it is easy..

Very nice. One day I'm gonna try one. You inspire me!

so what did you change that made it easier for you?

Your Bargello quilt is awesome!! Another on my ever growing to do list!!!

i got all messed up with the unpicking seams where they said.. I couldnt figure out which one to do, so I just laid out all my strips, decided which I wanted first, then unpicked where i knew it would be in the right spot for each row.. I know it probably wasn't as hard as the instructions said to some quilters, but for me, it just didn't make sense.. I love scrappy quilts, so when I have fabric to use ( not always having that, since I can't purchase any right now ), my stand by for quilt pattern is the bargello.. just so fun, and never looks bad , no matter how ugly the fabric, or cut up clothes I use.

Yes: please fill us in on your insight. Inquiring minds need to know.

:lol:

It is so much fun! even the ugliest of fabric ( if there was such a thing ) makes a beautiful bargello, lol..

oh ;I see that you already told us while I was posting...thanks.
