Finally Finished My Bargello
 

I made this quilt for someone I worked with who recently retired. I took my inspiration from two photos he had in his office. One was of the redrock in Southern Utah. The other was of a trip to Machu Pichu and the rain forests of Peru. Redrock on the front and the backing is a batik floral. Hope he likes it. The quilting was done by my LAQ. And it really isn't wonky. No matter how I hung it on the clothesline the bottom always looked narrower. Maybe it has something to do with my camera angle or the waves of the Bargello.

Good job!! I really like this. I have never made a bargello but have picked a pattern & fabrics for one for my DGD for her college graduation.

That is a great quilt, he will love it.

I love it - you did a wonderful job - I want to make one but I have the hardest time picking the fabrics - How did you pick fabrics? I find that to be the hardest part.

That's usually a problem for me too. For this one I used my inspiration photo and chose fabric in the same color range. It was fun to make and I may do another one someday.

Gorgeous!!! You did an awesome job. Thanks for showing it.

Very pretty! The photo you used for inspiration simply has me bumfuzzled. What is it? I'm not real good with ink blots either.... Need I say more?

It's beautiful. Please come over and help me pick colors :)

I've changed the photo. This is a geologic formation in Utah back country. Only a limited number of people are able to hike in each year and you have to make your reservations in advance. In the new photo you can get an idea of the scale from the person standing in the foreground.

Boy, those waves are getting to me. Great quilt!!
