I don't know anything about quilting Bargellos from experience, but I have seen a picture of one (maybe on this board) that was done with a stitch down the center of the squares following the curves from one side to the other. On yours, some of the lines wouldn't go all the way from side to side but from one end of a particular curve to the other end. I know it looked really nice and didn't distract the eye from the piecing. I think leaves or flowers might be distracting. Even though you couldn't normally make straight lines look straight, perhaps you could use a seam guide to stay pretty even down the center. I know you will get more expert advice that mine from much more experienced quilters.

This quilt is absolutely stunning. I had a hard time visualizing the finished product when you started your fabric selection, but it has turned out great! Thanks for posting the process for us.

It's beautiful..don't overdo the quilting..I was so stressed out on mine and a friend who does the Bargello..showed me a techique of just following the curves..it comes out really pretty and doesn't take away from your design element!! We both do ours on a regular machine..no long arms here!

Friends Quilt !
