Well, so far it is working up nicely. I have 23 stips put together and 10 of them sewn together. I'm really happy with it.

The sewn piece and the rest of the strips, need to make 24 more.

Hi Dorothy: The pattern is called Links and it is by Dereck C. Lockwood. I bought it at my LQS and took a class to make my first one. It was fun and as long as you are organized is not hard to make. I printed off little tabs of paper with "top1, top2, top3 etc and pinned them to the tops of each strip as I finished it. Then pinned them to my design board. It makes sewing them together so much easier and if you make a mistake you can catch it. Believe me it is easy to do. You can also find the pattern online at www.lockwoodquilts.com along with about 8 others. I have bought a book that shows how to design your own bargello and I would eventually like to do that. Hope you enjoy making yours. Cheers, Barb

Well I'm 1/2 done. Got the rest of the strips sewn together this morning. They switched my shifts to afternoons today at the last minute so I took advantage of the morning. :) Only 23 more rows to go!

This is the 23 strips
