[quote=bbeyes]This looks so hard to make. Are all the pieces small?
Are they all the same size?[/q]
If you go back to the first page of this thread, you will see (if I remember correctly) that the color ways were stitched with 1/2 WOF strips, then ironed, and then the width is cut from the strip sets to create the way that the color moves up and down and around in this excellent bargello.
Can you imagine? At one time, bargellos were made exactly as you were thinking, one piece at a time ... by hand?
Although ... I am wondering ... did they do quilt bargellos before the rotary cutter hit the public counter? <wave>

I'm thinking I may if you are willing to share the knowledge. This is the first time that I marked watch and was blown away with the pictures. I can imagine how smashing the white fabrics are. I've always been complimented on my color choices and many have asked me to go with them to shop for fabric. Kuddos to you and your progress. Looking forward to the next installment. ~~Kim~~
