Hi everyone! I thought that I'd post some up to date pictures now. I am 2/3 of the way done on the top. I don't like the pictures so much is they always look blurry, so I took a couple of pictures of the wedges and stuff so you could see the pattern on the fabrics that I used. They are really pretty. I tried putting it outside but it is way to windy. Hopefully, it won't be much longer.

I love these fabrics. The pink and the aqua are called "Spiro Gyro", a cool swirl of colors. The white is actually a white-on-white with a beautiful rose, and the other white is a white with a silver/gray print in it. I wish they would come out clearer so you could see how pretty they are!

1) End up getting taken apart and used as scraps or
2) Be absolutely beautiful!!! Here's a few pictures. Enjoy!

I want to thank each and every one of you for your kind words, your compliments and your interest in this bargello!
It means alot to me! I only have 12 more rows to do on the second bargello and then I'll know if the fabric requirements are correct. It won't be long now!!!
Thanks again!!!!!

OK, I WAS TAKEN BY COMPLETE SURPRISE AND THILLED WITH WHAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SO QUICKLY! I've never seen a Bargello done quite like this and I've yet to personally attempt one. 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~~
