Fresh Fruit Parfait....My First Bargello
 

I decided that after the first of the year, I would try to challenge my creativity a bit. I saw a wall quilt on AllFreeQuilting.com made with jelly rolls, and knew this was the one I wanted. But I don't have wall space for hanging, so I decided to make it a larger size. It is 60"X70".[ATTACH=CONFIG]310216[/ATTACH]

Here is the back:[ATTACH=CONFIG]310217[/ATTACH]

And here is a closeup of the front:[ATTACH=CONFIG]310218[/ATTACH]

Nice job on your challenge, this quilt is very pretty. Thanks for sharing.

I bought two books of bargello patterns. My challenge is finding colors to go together- hmmm-jelly rolls, thanks . Why didn't I think of that?
Yours turned out very nice-great colors together.

Well, I have been an apparel sewer for 65 years, but have only been quilting less than 5 years. It is a struggle for me to find fabrics that go together but not necessarily match. This way I didn't have to buy many yards of fabrics. It was 2 packs of Tonga Treats in Taffy and Meringue, plus a couple colors I had in my stash. I wasn't brave enough to try something more complicated, so this was perfect. I do see myself trying a more complicated bargello in the future, maybe in darker colors.

Sew very pretty! Love the colors, and you've done a great job! The pieced backing is nice too!

Well done! Great color blend. Thanks for sharing.

That is so pretty. It reminds me of a fine watercolor. Beautiful.

I haven't done a bargello yet but would love to. Yours is beautiful!

Love your soft colors, great looking quilt. I'm gonna have to find a book about them and try one soon.

Beautiful! I am so glad you extended your creativity. I love the back also!

That is fantastic! I am a big fan of pieced backs and yours is lovely!

beautifully done!

So let me challenge the rest of you....Since this was a "Jelly Roll" project (who would have thought?)I would like to challenge you ladies to come up with something from a jelly roll, that you would never expect. There are so many free patterns and books on what to do with precuts, I would like to see some of yours. Take an idea and run with it. Maybe I will make this a new thread. Give me your thoughts.

Good job there.

I love your quilt, it gives me inspiration to try to make one.

Wow! That is one of the most beautiful bargello quilts I have seen.

Gorgeous quilt!

Very pretty. Good job.

Beautiful, so fresh and springy! Quite refreshing this time of year

It is beautiful! I am just discovering how awesome precuts can be, love your idea.

Oh, you did a great job, I am proud of your accomplishment! I know how much you sweat over this one.

Beautiful quilt. I really like your color choices.

I love your colors! They are bright, yet soft.

What a delightful bargello! Delicious!

Your quilt is lovely. The back looks great too. Leftovers are pretty good aren't they?
