Thanks for the great idea for choosing fabrics for Bargello quilts. I think it would also work well on other quilt designs as well. Many years ago I made a Twister quilt, thinking I had made a good choice in fabrics. However, one fabric had a larger design than the others, and although I thought it worked well, it came out differently in the final quilt. I was surprised though when showing the quilt at a Guild meeting, many people commented on the pop of yellow in that print adding some zing - the same fabric I didn't like in the quilt when I put it together. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder whether it was not a good idea, or whether it was a great pop of color in the quilt.

Thank you so much for this post. I bought fabric for my first Bargello heart shaped quilt and for some reason it has been difficult to imagine how it will look.....thanks!!!

question about your selection -- are both blues together meant to consciously "enlarge" the blue color scheme section? [my eyes tend to "blend" them as one thicker asymmetric size...?]

Thank you sew much for posting this. I bought fabric several months ago for a bargello quilt but did not know where to go next. Now I can get started.

I put the two blues together, one deep sky blue and the other a turquoise, because I was matching the colors in a vase I had. Let me see if I can find a picture of the finished quilt on the bed in my room. I am really pleased with the way the quilt turned out. Okay, one picture shows the quilt alone, and the other has my vases in the background.

Funny, I had forgotten about this hint. This remainder came at a good time, as I am playing with fabric for my next Bargello.

I did a bargello, but not with that technique. My daughter helped me. Being artsy, it worked. So I thought...hey...I got this and picked out a ton of fabric for a bargello for our own bedroom. HATE the colors as they are working up.

Maybe I should start over with this technique!
