Western Sunset
 

Here is my 2nd Bargello quilt. This is being sent to Operation Horse Rescue for a fundraiser. It is made with 2 jelly rolls of Moda fabric in the Sunrise Sunset line. Finished size is 61" x 76".[ATTACH=CONFIG]339086[/ATTACH]

beautiful. Makes me think of the beach at sunset here on the west coast.

You did a beautiful job on it! Hope it raises lots of money.

Beautiful quilt.

Beautiful!!!!!

Lovely job.

I love those colors! It's sure to raise a nice sum for Horse Rescue.

Beautiful quilt! Where did you get this pattern? I love both of your quilts.

Very nice- i have made them and they take time

It is just gorgeous, just absolutely gorgeous

Very pretty!

Your quilt is just beautiful. Really like the colors and fabrics.

It's gorgeous! I've been thinking about doing a sunset quilt. Hope mine turns out as nice as yours.

Lovely graduations!

I had a book of Bargello quilts. I liked the shape of the curves & thought that would accomplish the shape of mountains and valleys that I wanted. I had gotten 2 jelly rolls and decided to adapt it to suit my "plan". So basically it was my own design. Bargellos are not as hard as they appear, but they do take a fair amount of time to assemble them.
Thanks, everyone for all the kind comments. They are really fun to do.

Beautiful! Love the colors!

that is a very lovely quiltand for a very good fund raiser.

Love bargellos - always looking for them to be posted on the board! Yours is excellent!!!

I agree 100%! This quilt is spectacular! I have some of this fabric, too, & LOVE it! I know this will bring in oodles of $$$ for a very worthy cause. Thank you so much for sharing this beauty with us... wow!

it's wonderful....great job!

that is beautiful, love the colors

love the colors. someday I want to try this.

Thanks everyone for all the compliments. I can't take credit for the color choices, since they were all in the jelly rolls. It would cost a fortune to collect enough batiks, so this is where I find the jelly rolls very helpful. I am not good at making the proper color choices, so having the decision making done for me is very helpful. You really don't need a book to do one. All you have to do is sew the 2 jelly roll groupings into 2 identical panels, pressing the seams in opposite directions on each one. Then make you decisions of the strip width you want to make the "wavy" pattern and start cutting. This one has many 3/4" strips. Next time I won't go any narrower than 1". I also found pressing the seams open as you go helps when you are ready to quilt. My long arm seems to balk at the seams when they are pressed in on direction. I also ironed it with Mary Ellens Best Press to get it nice and flat before hanging it on the long arm.
My suggestion for those of you wanting to try one, is to start with a small wall hanging size first, then go to bigger. I have another one I want to do that is all blacks/whites,browns batiks, and I have 3 jelly rolls for this one. Bargellos are like potato chips, you can enjoy just one. Now I can't stop.

Love the colors! Great job!

Beautiful!!!!! Love the soft colors :)

WOW! Very pretty - you did a great job, I hope it fetches a lot of money for the rescue.

Hope the fundraiser goes well.
