I saw them do that on Fons & Porter and one of them said she had trouble doing it when she tried it at home. I don't think I can be that orgainized. Good for you! I looks great!

Beautiful! I, too, have been wanting to try it. You are a great inspiration. Guess I better get busy.

Wow! I love the concept of using those patriotic fabrics like that - I would never have thought of it, but want to do something similar now! Was there as specific pattern that you used?

Wow, that is beautiful, and is what I am planning on making for my nephew for a wedding gift. Only they like the older americana look, so I have been busy tea dying my fabrics.
You did a fabulous job, have you been quilting long?
Happy quilting, Joyce

You are all so kind. I think I mentioned the pattern is in a magazine by Fons and Porter.... "Easy Quilts" fall 2007 page 42.... It is always surprising how different fabrics can change the look of a quilt... Quilter 1234

Thank you,
I called Fons & Porter for the magazine, they are all sold out, but I purchased a copy of the pattern from them
So now I anxiously wait for the pattern.

Well, I have just discovered the virtual section of the quilting board, and just started going through the threads.
I can't resist saying that this a GREAT sample of bargello ...and, I too can see that this will be a great use for all that patriotic fabric I can't resist.
Cool! <wave>
