Just gorgeous - I love it!!!!

D- Your quilt is wonderful! I have extreme vertigo and I was actually dizzy from the movement in it....

I've never seen one so fluid and absolutely love it.

This is indeed a very beautiful quilt. My goodness, the patience you must have to figure out all this movement and do it so well. You are evidently a wonderful student and have good concentration skills. More power to you!! Keep up the good work and I hope I catch some of this talent on the board like you did. Your colors, pattern and everything is just wonderful. Nice job!!:)

Great job. Love the colors, beautiful. Right now I am working on my first bargello. I am kinda scared, I've got all my strips cut and three panels sewn together.

Oh my goodness...that is so beautiful and the movement and depth is unreal. It almost looks 3D. Congratulations on a great quilt.

You did a wonderful wonderful job on this quilt! I love the browns and blues together. The quilt has movement, for sure! And also, you did a great job on the piecing. Congratulations!

That is simply beautiful. When I looked at your colors I thought to myself yuck I don't like those colors. They turned out beautiful, I want to do one so bad but as you can tell I can't pick out colors. Any hints? Sorry I doubted your choice of colors. LOL

JenJen224 06-17-2011 02:15 PM

:) That was cute. :thumbup: I don't live in a candy store so my selections are sometimes controlled by what I have. :lol: I did shop lots of the fabrics in the Blue Bargello but some of them I already had here.
Hints? Know where the fabric will fall in the diagram of the quilt. Each fabric needs to play well with the one on either side of it. As an example, fabric #1 doesn't have to blend 'into' fabric #3 unless it touches it in the diagram. Sometimes you just gotta study the pattern, know where a fabric will fall in the quilt and go with your gut feeling. I believe making the beginner bargello blocks are helpful, helps get an idea of how the fabrics fall in a diagram.
If you ever do one you will be addicted.

Stunning work!

I'm glad someone pointed out all those peaceful hummers - amazing picture. I've never seen them that nice to each other - how do you get them to do that?

Thank you. The 1" squares and seaming in the middle of the adjoining square is what gives the quilt the depth and movement. I think it is.

For the hummingbird questions, you might enjoy my 2010 season hummingbird post. If you start looking last page first and then backwards you will see the best photos. We fed 144 lbs of granulated sugar last season during migration.

We don't start getting them in droves until the end of July then I pop into action. When I start my 2011 hummingbird post I will add it to my signature under my avatar so you can follow it.
