11 Colors for a Bargello
Hi
I found 11 different fabrics in teal to use for my cousin's quilt, who was recently diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. I even found the little teal ribbon fabric. I want to make a Bargello quilt, does anyone have a pattern that uses 11 fabrics? Most of the patterns that I have seen use 7 to 8 different fabrics. I started sewing the strip together last night and will probably finish this tonight, so tomorrow I would like to start cutting and need to know how much of was size. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
NormaBeth

i've made bargello's with 14-26 different fabrics---you can use as many as you want. sew your strip sets together- make your tubes- cut your strips then 'play' with the tubes moving them up and down to get a design you like- then open each tube at the appropriate intersection.
if you type 'bargello quilts' into your search engine you will find many many patterns- some free- some cost-some in books.

You don't actually have to have a pattern for a bargello quilt. As mentioned above, just play around with your strips until you are happy with the way they go together. The next time I do one, I'm going to be a little more adventurous and vary my heights of points more instead of all alike or mirror image like the first couple I did (small wall hangings).
