You have to get a permit in advance to hike in. Don't think I'll ever make it but it sure is fantastic looking.

I took a class with my mother in law years ago where we made an around the world quilt....I did green, but someone in the class did a purple and it was far and away my favorite.

This is the best picture I have of the fabric. Hope it helps.

I think her pattern is also Surf Song. It is just the bed sized one and not the lap size. I believe she and I had a discussion about Surf Song when she was making it.

I could be wrong though....

So if one is collecting up fabric to make a double bed size bargello; what would be the best amount of fabric to get--in yardage of each fabric? Would Fat quarters work for a lap size ? All of your bargellos are beautiful.

For the lap size you need 1/4 yard of 20 fabrics. That is two color groups, 12 in one and 8 in the other. Fabric needs to at least be 42 inches wide. Lap size is 46 1/2 by 48 1/2.
