Betty is having some problems with sewing her strips together and asked me for help in another message thread, so I'm giving her the answer here.
Betty, when you are sewing the sections together. you will start with the 3 1/2" strip that has #1 fabric on the top. Sew that to the 3" strip that has fabric #11 on top. then the next pair you sew together would be 2 1/2" #10 fab. & 2" #9 fab. Next pair is the 1 1/2" #8 fab. and 1" #7 fab. Next pair is 1" #6 fab & 1" #7 fab....so on down to the end of your stack. You will have one strip left over. cut the chain from the machine and sew the last pair (3" & 2/12" strips) to the left over (orhpan) strip.

I was looking at page 4 #3 with the pile of strips in a chain on the floor.

Barb_MO: This bargello with the yellows is stunning! Which layout or type is it? I've only made 2 using the "twisted" layout. Dawn @[email protected]. Thanks

I have done several different bargello quilts, but decided to use this one because there are several possibilities for laying it out to get different designs from four completed sections of the quilt.
check out the beginning of the tutorial, http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-41828-1.htm
If you have any questions, please post a message there for me and I'll help if I can.
