purple Bargello top done
 

I just finished putting the last border on my purple Bargello. I am very pleased. :) I have only been making Bargellos for a year, (I have made 4 bed sized and 2 small wall hangings), but I can't believe I haven't made an all purple one until now! I can't wait to get this quilted and put in on the oversized chair here in my sewing room.

Several of you have followed me making this. Thanks for riding along. :)

Nicely done in a great color.

I love it! Purple also my favorite color! Someday I'm gonna tackle a bargello!

I have a friend who would fight for one this pretty. She is a purple phanatic. It is a beautiful quilt.

Love your bargello but then again I'm a lover of purple

Thanks for your kinds words. It feels very good to actually have a quilt turn out the way it looked on the "design wall in my head..." :)

I have been following along & it has been worth it. Love the quilt & color of course. Thank you for sharing.

Gorgeous!!! The colors go together perfectly.

Love it! You are a Bargello pro!!!

Beautiful quilt!

That is one snazzy bargello! Thanks for sharing your creative journey. Please post again after it's quilted. :o

I have been following along on your progress and what a gorgeous result. Thanks for sharing.

Never enough purple in the world. Beautiful

You are a lady after my own heart!! (You know, now that I think of it, I am not sure what that phrase means, but I think it means you think like I do!!)

It's beautiful, Dina. Congrats on a great idea and execution!

Beautiful!

Just lovely!

MMM MMMM MMMM Great work!

Love your purple Bargello :)

Outstanding. I love bargello and a purple on is even better.

That is beautiful, great job and colors.

OMG it turned out lovely

Beautiful!

OH yes...i remember the earth tone bargellos for the twin beds!! Your eye for color is evidenced again with this one!! Just gorgeous it is!

Very pretty, I love the colors.

Wow! You have one good memory!! Thanks. You make me feel good about my color choices...even though I know I am only halfway good if those colors are all shades of one color. :)

Dina

Beautiful!

It turned out great! I have enjoyed following along.

You are truly an artist and I love all your quilts.

Beautiful! Also extra pretty since it is my fav color purple!

You are truly an artist and I love all your quilts. I appreciate the help you gave me when I was making mine.

Thank again, everyone, for your sweet comments. I am about 1/2 through quilting it and may finish thai part tomorrow. I SID, so it doesn't take too long. Then I will bind it and be done. :)This quilt has been really fun to do. My purple-loving heart enjoyed it every step of the way.

Love how yours turned out and I'm not even a purple lovers. I have this pattern as well as the free Bargello Pattern program. I've got my strips all put together as the above pattern tells me to and have cut one end to make it straight. I've tried using the Bargello Pattern program but my hands shake so much I can't get a nice smooth wave to the pattern to suit me. I'm so afraid to make those 1st set of cut strips down vertically. Can anyone help me get a nice smooth wavy pattern using this program? I can send you the colors I've set it up with. I need a much larger quilt top than the Serenity pattern makes. Bargello quilt has been on my "Bucket List" for quite a while now and finally decided to try it.

Thanks in advance.

Love it, thanks for sharing your progress

Never tried bargello but your quilt makes me want to try. Thanks for sharing

If I understand you correctly, you have 12 2 1/2 strips sewn together and are ready to cut across those to begin cutting the strips in various widths? Is that right? I use a June Taylor Cut and Shape ruler to made sure my cuts are straight. I have myopic macular degeneration and no center sight in one eye. As a result, I have no depth perception, and I don't see straight lines. BUT the June Taylor Cut and Shape ruler makes it possible for me to cut straight lines.

Is that your problem? Just make sure your rotary blade is nice and sharp. I tried to cut some of my first ones with a dull blade. Way more trouble than it is worth.

I am not sure what the free Bargello quilt program is, so I don't know anything about it.

Of course, to make the Serenity pattern bigger, just keep adding to it....but you know that.

I hope you end up enjoying making the Bargello. I know I do, and if I can make one, anyone can. I promise. Just follow the instructions carefully. In fact, when I first started, I got a lot of good advice from folks here. Let me see if I can find that thread and add it. I will go ahead and post this, then check....because if I go searching now, this message will disappear.
