When I decided to make my first ever bargello quilt. I thought I had better make something that I really liked. I thought this because I figured it would be the only one I ever would make. Much to my surprise I loved working on my Bargello, and I am now "Hooked on them" This is my first, but most certainly will not be my last. They just look hard, when really they aren't. And the good thing with this one, I can hang it more then one way

Karen :D :D

It turned out real nice. I like the bright colors, too! :D

WOW is all I can say. Would have driven my poor old eyes batty.
Your colors are so vibrant and 'fallish'. Very nice.

That turned out great. Glad to hear they are not as difficult as they look. Thanks for sharing. :D :D :D

Woah, that's amazing, I've even avoided doing the small patch because it looks quite tricky, Well done you must be so proud.

Oh, that's beautiful!
I'm dying to make a bargello quilt. Actually, I want to make one like Shadow's ever since she posted it I've been drooling over it. I've never made one before, but I did buy a book with instructions. I just haven't had the time to actually start one...lol!
How big is yours, and how long did it take you to make it?

woody 09-29-2009 12:54 PM

Great job! I love the colours.
I'm working ing my first bargello at the moment, hope it turns out as good as yours

Ninnie 09-29-2009 01:09 PM

I love the bright colors. It it beautiful. I like it hanging longways.

I have also been drooling since I saw Shadows

You did a beautiful job! I admire that you just plunged in and did it; and happy to hear that you actually enjoyed it!

Lacelady 09-29-2009 01:15 PM

I think it's stunning, and I hope that it isn't your 'last Bargello' seeing as you seem to have enjoyed doing this one.

oooooooooh, I love it - great movement, and those are my colors!

Marcia 09-29-2009 02:10 PM

very pretty---I like the colors you chose.

quiltnut4ever 09-29-2009 02:34 PM

I too am a bargello nut as u can see in my avatar. I think it turned out lovely! I think they're easy when making them.

pvquilter 09-29-2009 02:41 PM

I made a Bargello many years ago. My problem now is how to quilt it. It was fun and I think I will do another one except smaller. I went for a queen size quilt. The one I want to do now is a wallhanging. Yours is very pretty, and the colors are so rich looking. How are you going to quilt yours?

Lisanne 09-29-2009 02:57 PM

Very nice. I'm familiar with bargello from needlepoint. Now you've gotten me to add a bargello quilts to my "wanna make" list.

Jim's Gem 09-29-2009 03:04 PM

Looks beautiful!!!

NorBanaquilts 09-29-2009 04:02 PM

Love, love the colors you chose.. I have one of these on my "list" to do...

Brazen 09-29-2009 05:38 PM

Crafty1 09-29-2009 05:46 PM

Hopefully it's not your last because that's beautiful! I tried to do one but my cutting skills are not up to par and the block didn't look good. Great job!!!

mountain-moma 09-29-2009 05:59 PM

pocoellie 09-29-2009 08:06 PM

Beautiful job!! Love it!!!

Sandy1951 09-29-2009 09:54 PM

Karen, it's beautiful! I want to make a bargello wall hanging so badly; I'm glad to hear you loved making it and found it easier than you expected. I have four bargello books out from the library right now. I need to stop looking at books and get busy sewing. The problem is we're moving in about a month and I have tons of sorting and packing to do. But I don't want to pack and unpack and set up a new house. I want to quilt! :(

Absolutely stunning! I'm glad you're going to make more.

Quilt4u 09-30-2009 01:46 AM

Wow!!!!! Very nice. You did a great job.

reneebobby 09-30-2009 03:13 AM

Very nice.

tlrnhi 09-30-2009 03:26 AM

It's beautiful!
Bargello is on my wish list, but doubt I'll make one

mpspeedy 09-30-2009 03:58 AM

WOW! That turned out great. It is beautiful but all of that little piecing would drive me crazy.

Debbie1 09-30-2009 08:17 AM

Beautiful! It would cheer up any room with the bright colors! Great job!

amma 09-30-2009 04:36 PM

You did an awesome job on this!!! Beautiful :D :D :D

nursie76 09-30-2009 04:43 PM

What an awesome and beautiful piece of art!!!!!!!!!!!
I soooo want to make one. My son just bought a house and doesn't really like county style, but just told me he likes geometric things and when I showed him a pic of a bargello quilt he liked that too...so, when he is settled and has repainted his bedroom, we will sit down and choose a quilt, perhaps a bargello. After seeing yours and that you say you enjoyed making it, I hope he chooses the bargello one.

littlehud 09-30-2009 06:04 PM

I love your bargello, and the colors are wonderful. Aren't they fun. I have one on my bed and a kit for another. I love the way they come together.

chartwig 10-01-2009 07:18 AM

Your Bargello is beautiful. I have always wanted to do one so you talked me right into it!!!! Thanks again! :lol:
