I finished my Bargello! Thank you, Chele for posting a picture of your quilt. I wanted to do one as soon as I saw it.

woooowwwwww - I just love these bargellos, this is a particularly lovely layout, was it difficult to do??? :D

Not difficult at all. I'm new to quilting and I love bargellos. I made an error in typing...it's supposed to say Batik...not Batok!!

Beautiful and vibrant!!! :thumbup:

very pretty!

Hey I have a dyslexic keyboard too sometimes, anyhow its great!!

I really might try this soon, I have been quilting for about 18 months and have learnt so much on here, isn't it great here!!

Stunning! Nice work!

I've never done a bargello. That's a beautiful quilt for sure. Is it different size squares that make the design?

I love your bargello. I am in the process of working on one now too. Still have much wip on that though. I have a few things going and taking turns working on all of them.

WOW! That is GORGEOUS!....

Beautiful. Looks too tricky for me. I love all the Bargello's posted.

Bargello's are one of my favorites also and this is very, very nice.

BTW, you didn't make a typo....... The wrong key jumped up and hit your finger, at least that's what I tell everybody.

Maxine, beautiful bargello - colors are gorgeous.

Gorgeous, love the colors.

oh yes it's very nice! It it done in rows where you have the whole quilt laid out or is it done from the center outward?

Yummy!!!

Very nice........Great job....what pattern did you use....would you mind sharing the pattern???????????? Thank you.....NAncy

I really enjoy the color combination that you used. Makes quite a statement.

YEP! I agree with everything everybody said, that's a real doozy!

Bargello quilts are done by sewing long vertical strip sets of different widths in about 17 colors. Then these strip sets are cut horizontally making a chain of 17 squares, one of each color. These chains are then sewn together in rows. The key is that these rows all start at the top with a different color so it makes a wavy design. You never actually sew little squares together! It just looks that way. I'm not good at explaining. It's clear in my mind, but you're probably more confused. I hope that gives enough info for you to go to the web site & read the actual instructions.

Very pretty and the colors are HOT

Beautiful!!!

Thanks for that link, I sort of understand better, it's for sure something I'll need to read again later (over and over again ;) )

I saved the link to my favorites so I will have it. I plan to make a bargello quilt and this size would be a good one to start with. Thanks for providing that link.

Thanks for the link Maxine. I've shopped at Seaside Quilting before and had forgotten about that free pattern. I'm definetely going to have to give the bargello a try. Yours really is pretty.

Thanks for all the positive feed back! We should all try to post pictures of our quilts. I have made 3 quilts that I saw posted here. It's helpful for new quilters to see the finished products and get ideas about color combinations. I don't often comment, but I love the help and inspiration I get from all of you! :D

Wow I just love the colors and the quilt.

It's gorgeous! You did a beautiful job. Love your batiks!

nice, I would like to try it but, all those little pieces, how long did it take you?

Beautiful!!! You did a wonderful job!!!

Not long at all. It's not little squares! It's a series of strips sewn on the veritcal then cut on the horizontal. You only work with strips.

OO very pretty.. I like you absolutely LOVE bargellos.. now that I have done 1.. it was sooo easy wasn't it?

Great Job!

I keep looking for new bargello patterns to try now.

Beautiful! I want one too. Guess I'd better quit scaring myself out of trying it and get busy!

beachlady have you felt good enough to look for your log cabin carpentar quilt. I just loved the look of your quilt

I am so impressed-I could never do that-GORGEOUS!!

Soooo pretty!

It's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Awesome! That looks very complicated.

nice

now that is different
thanks for sharing
