She said very few quilts that you see photographed have not had this trick used on them. I do it now and again but I like to get perfection on my own. It washes beautifully, never runs or disappears.
I LOVE this!
Another suggestion - Bargellos don't have to be matched seam to seam - they can be offset mid rectangle. You still get the Bargello effect without tearing your hair out.
I have an excuse that I get to use for another 3 years - chemo brain. It IS a side effect of chemo - muddled thinking, lack of focus, forgetting. It comes and goes, and it can be maddening. I do a sudoku puzzle in the morning - and if I have trouble with it, I know I'd better not try to do anything having to do with quilting - or face the consequences - ripping out - ruining fabric - you name it, I've done it!
