I would like to share photo's of my Blue Bargello with you. This is the second time I have made this pattern (Swish by Marilyn Burris). I posted photos of the first one July 2010. I see so much difference in my skills a year later. You guys have taught me so much, you taught me well. Measure twice, cut once, if I don't do the same thing the same way each time it won't fit like a jigsaw puzzle but if I am consistent with my seam width, the pull I use when pressing the seams, etc. everything will fit like a well oiled machine. I read what you say, practice, hit a road block and use search to dig my way out of the trenches. You have taught me well and I have only just begun to learn. :P .
I hope you will enjoy seeing my quilt as much I as enjoy seeing yours. I appreciate every response and one word responses are important to me too, so say as much or as little as you want to but please do let me hear your shout out. :P

The quilt uses 24 fabrics. This is fabrics 1 through 17.

This is the back side of the quilt top. I am so proud of everything I have learned. I couldn't have done this a year ago.

Check out the yellow renagade. I will replace it with the correct one when I redo my binding. I couldn't get my mitre right so I stepped away from it for awhile. Ooops, I also haven't put a label on it yet. This is also a photo that shows how my blue thread worked with stitch in the ditch. On the bed, the blue thread looks like a shadow.

The finished quilt. Photo shows the quilt from the bottom to the top. I machine pieced and quilted it on a domestic Brother.

This photo shows the quilt from the right to the left. I extended the pattern to 60 columns making a perfect Queen size.

Oh my heavens, the browns and the blues are so gorgeous together. You did a great job. It is wonderful

charismah 06-16-2011 02:12 PM

OH I love it! Love the colors...love your quilt! Fabulous job!

Your avatar fascinates me. It is rare when one bird lets one other bird sit and feed at the same time. They are so territorial that we put three feeders in three different areas around the house. We actually watched one bird stab another with his beak to get the feeder to himself. It was brutal.

This is gorgeous and the back looks so neat love the colors!

cuppi duke 06-16-2011 02:16 PM

Beautiful job. You should be proud. I love your color choices.

LoriEl 06-16-2011 02:17 PM

Looks beautiful, but where's the front side picture!

quiltsRfun 06-16-2011 02:20 PM

The back looks great. More photos of the front, please. As for your "yellow renegade," I have that fabric and the yellow can be hard to work around.

Beautiful quilt! I took a look at your Hummers' too. your set up is great. I have a family at my house, Ruby Throated. If you have good eyes you can follow them as they fly and I discovered they have favorite perches and flying routes that they follow. They are most beautiful! Imagine a bargello in the red and greens of a Humming bird!
peace

Looks great like sand and waves

Lacelady 06-16-2011 02:22 PM

Stunning quilt - beautiful colours, and incredibly neat. Well done.

Raggiemom 06-16-2011 02:22 PM

That's beautiful.

PaperPrincess 06-16-2011 02:28 PM

WOW! Super job!

bjeriann 06-16-2011 02:30 PM

You did a beautiful job. How did you quilt it? Is it SID or something else? I can't see a pattern. The movement of it is so neat looking.

Dee G 06-16-2011 02:31 PM

Absolutely beautiful! Love your colors. Great job!!

LoisN 06-16-2011 02:32 PM

OOOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMMM GGGGGGGGGGGG That is gorgeous! I have that pattern, but haven't been brave enough to try it. You have inspired me.

FranW 06-16-2011 02:33 PM

This is a beautiful bargello! The browns and blues are a perfect combination. Thank you for sharing. And I agree with you about the amount of information I have learned from reading this board!

dixiebelle162002 06-16-2011 02:36 PM

lovely

valsma 06-16-2011 02:37 PM

I love this quilt. The colors are great, but I like that the quilt is laying flat but looks as if there is movement to it. I hope someday to be able to make a Bargello.I'm not quite brave enought to try one yet. Someday though.

GagaSmith 06-16-2011 02:40 PM

Beautiful job. Love it.

cjomomma 06-16-2011 02:41 PM

I love this quilt!! WOW!!!

yonnikka 06-16-2011 02:41 PM

The Renegade Yellow should stay! What fun, fifty years from now, for some child to ponder the meaning of it all, one tiny Renegade. Love and Cherish it. Let it be, seeking words of wisdom? Let it be...

dove 06-16-2011 02:42 PM

it is absolutely fabulous!!...you did a wonderful job!

QweenBee 06-16-2011 02:45 PM

Great job, but I like the colors on the back, soothing, looks like sand and surf! Hey catchy name, I'll let you use it if you want too. LOL :P :thumbup: :thumbup:

FabrikQueen 06-16-2011 02:45 PM

Beautiful colours on your quilt...love it! This is one I need to pull out of the "bucket list" and make!

peaceandjoy 06-16-2011 02:46 PM

Very nice...you have learned your lessons well...

indycatcarol 06-16-2011 03:00 PM

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!I may have to try this design. When I saw the 1st picture I thought "Why didn't she smooth out the quilt before she took the picture", then remembered it was a Bargello. Great job! How many pieces in it? Mine has something like 1,774.

amma 06-16-2011 03:12 PM

Gorgeous! I love the pattern and the fabrics you chose are stunning :D:D:D

Melrose R 06-16-2011 03:13 PM
