My first Bargello
 

This is my first Bargello. It was one of the most stressful quilts I have done so far because it was not for me, but for a friend's mom. I did not have much to go on except that she liked blue and my friend liked batiks. This was a very interesting project to say the least. The more I tried to be precise the more mistakes I made. There was lots of ripping involved. And if you tried to rip a bargello seam, you know what I am talking about. The stitch length is very short, and batik prone to ripping....I was having all kinds of fun with this one. A trip to Intercourse, PA and 21 shades of blue batik later, the quilt was finished and a new addiction was born. Somewhere during this journey I fell in love with Bargellos, and I cannot wait to make another one. Yes, I made tons of mistakes, but I also learned a lot.

Beautiful. Something I have never attempted

It is certainly beautiful! Glad you didn't give up on it!

Beautiful!

It's really pretty.

I love the colors! I'm sure both your friend and her mom will love it!

Your quilt is just beautiful! Can't even tell there are mistakes on it.You chose great fabric.

That is one beautiful mistake you made. there might be a few happy tears over this gift. Awesome work.
peace

I love Bargellos your is very nice what is the pattern called. I have made a couple so far and have one ready to put in the frames in the new year. Love the blues but I do not think I am brave enough to use batiks. I know I will have to rip out a few seams :)

Very NICE!!! Bargello is on my bucket list; don't know when I'll get to it though.

I really like your design.
