first one is a quilted tablecloth for my kitchen table. it measures about 52" square. second one is the first bargello quilt i've ever made - and it may be the last too. and it measures about 57 x 74. both still need a binding.

Such as cheerful tablecloth and beautiful bargello. They are alot of work :-)

bgullett 10-06-2010 06:52 PM

They are both beautiful. I did the same exact Bargello for my first one too! I love the pattern of a Bargello and doing another now.

thanks to all for the nice words - the bargello was a kit, i didn't pick the colors. kit consisted of 17 fat quarters, but i had to do all the cutting etc. i saw stacks of strips in my sleep.

shequilts 10-06-2010 07:04 PM

Both are beautiful, but the Baqrgello is my fave. Great job!

Latrinka 10-06-2010 07:08 PM

Both are gorgeous! Someday I want to try a bargello, long time from now tho!

Really lovely, great job!

The table topper is very cute and very cheerful. I would love eating with that in view. The bargello is awesome! That is definitely on my to do list, hopefully in the near future.

Your tablecloth is beautiful, and your bargello is stunning :D:D:D

Ohhhhhh I love that table cloth. It is just beautiful. I like the quilt too, but bargellos aren't my favorite. I don't think I would ever make one. I'm sure I would never get it finished if I ever started one. Just my taste, not downgrading your work or you quilt. You did a great job on both but the table cloth is my favorite, it is beautiful.

SharonD 10-06-2010 10:42 PM

I love your quilts, beautiful colours and design work. Well done. :thumbup:

Lynnie25 10-06-2010 10:44 PM

These are both so nice, love the bright tablecloth. I do admire the beautiful bargello quilts but I don't think I will ever attempt one.

jridner1 10-07-2010 12:58 AM

Lynnejean 10-07-2010 05:51 AM

Very clever use of those embroidery designs! I have seen those and wondered what to do with them.

Your bargello is SOOO FAB!!! Girl I don't care how much trouble it was it was WORTH IT!!!!

thank yall very much for all the compliments. i had no idea the tablecloth would be so well liked. it's very easy to make. out of scraps and/or fat quarters. i'll attach a close up pic of one square. first of all, you cut about 200 or so 3-1/2" squares, sew 25 of them together for the center of each block. then cut two 12" squares, cut them on the diagonal and sew to each side of the squares, trim off what hangs over, then you can embroidery something on them or not - put them together with sashing and as you can see, i made the outer border out of the left over squares. if anybody wants to make one and doesn't have an embroidery machine, send your squares to me and i'll do the embroidery for you - no charge.

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 10-07-2010 07:49 AM

Both turned out well. You should be very proud.

boohoofish 10-07-2010 09:15 AM

I like both of them but your Bargello is outstanding in color. I've only done Bargello in canvas work but hope to try it in quilting some day. With luck it will turn out as good as yours.
