Latest Bargello

We welcomed a new niece into the family last year when my SIL got married. Tamika is 10 and she likes pink. She likes dinasours too, but I couldn't find any lurking in my stash. This is for a twin bed, 70x90 and it's on it's way to AZ.

I really want to try a bargello but I'm afraid it might exceed my skill level. This one is beautiful!

I was afraid of bargellos too until I learned it's all strip piecing. I found the book "Twist and Turn Bargello Quilts" by Eileen Wright. This pattern is surf's song. She explains the technique very well and there are pictures as well.

Beautiful! Love the colors. So bright and springy.

I don't, generally speaking, like bargello quilts. Honestly, they make me a bit nauseous. This one however, is beautiful! I think the reason yours is so pretty is because you used "patterned" fabric and in my humble opinion that makes all the difference. Beautiful quilt, great job!!!!!

frenchfryqueen 01-09-2014 12:22 PM

Beautiful work!

Jingle 01-09-2014 01:58 PM

Absolutely gorgeous, I love the pinks.

Bargellos are so much fun, and yours is beautiful!

Really love this....

brandeesmom 01-09-2014 11:35 PM

Your new niece is a very lucky girl to be getting such a wonderful welcome to the family, I bet she is thrilled with her new quilt!

twinkie 01-10-2014 04:26 AM

I'm sure she will love it.

Cris 01-10-2014 05:06 AM

So pretty! Love it kudos!!

Gannyrosie 01-10-2014 05:11 AM

I think you just wrapped that little girl around your finger when she see's it. What a special way to welcome a new friend.

cpcarolyn 01-10-2014 07:58 AM

Beautiful quilt.

gigigray032447 01-10-2014 08:12 AM

Skratchie, the bargello will not overload your skill level. They are actually very easy to do, but you have to pay really close attention and keep your strips in perfect order. Using text and email, I am teaching my friend who is an accomplished quilter, to make a bargello.

peabee 01-10-2014 08:14 AM

great idea for youngster quilts

quilter68 01-10-2014 08:45 AM

Perfect colors and pattern for these fabrics. Straight sewing the squares is something I can do. Your color combo is sparkling.
