All the replies to your question are true (be organized, etc.)
I just taught a bargello class that was "intro to the technique" and we did not match seams as in the photos attached. Here are a few websites to look at: http://www.quiltingandwhatnot.ca/pdf...oBabyQuilt.pdf and http://www.hgtv.com/crafting/bargello-quilt/index.html

I've made two bargellos and didn't follow anybody's pattern. I made up my own.
I did, however, find out how they are made, sewing the strips, making a tube, cutting the widths, etc.
Most important when all this is done is to label the strips! Then double check that they are in the right order.
I found that making the bargellos a fairly quick process. I assembled my second bargello in the "quilt as you go" technique and it went very quickly. With doing the quilt as you go, the quilting is already done. If you want to add some dimension, you can do extra quilting in the blocks.
I'm putting on the binding right now.
Here is my first one but it is only the quilt top.

Good luck! Bargello quilts are so much fun to plan and put together!

No matching seams.

Margie Eddie also has a book on Bargellos and it is very helpful. I started with the same Bargello that Deb53 taught, I teach it as well, and it helped me move into the more intense designs. It gets the concept into your thinking process and then you can follow how your color choices will show up in the quilt. The Bargello is one of my favorite patterns. I just finished a minature heart bargello. Sewing those 3/4" strips is the challenge, especially when there are 64 of them in the quilt.
