Wow!!!! I would love to try one myself but not a clue of where to start!

This book is a great place to start:
http://www.amazon.com/Twist-Bargello...+turn+bargello

I'm doing a pattern out of this book right now, and the instructions are very clear and there are a lot of helpful setup tips in the beginning.

If you want to start out simpler than that, I posted the pattern for this one (it's mine) earlier in the thread. The hardest part really is the fabric choices :)
