Eileen Wright Bargello Tablerunner
Just finished a table runner from the book, Twist and Turn Bargello by Eileen Wright. I love how this pattern turns out. Thinking of quilting it with feathers. Would love to know what others have done.
I pieced this in our motor home while working our way up the coast to Oregon. Planning on going to the Sisters Quilt show.
Thanks for looking.

I normally just following the curve with bargello because you don't want any distractions from your beautiful fabrics. I change threads when needed so that the quilting doesn't show up. Here is the same pattern but I used bright colors for my friend who now resides in PHX.

I would love to see it quilted. I have a bargello that needs quilting, but I just can't decide how. I love feathers but haven't mastered them. Yours is so great--beautiful colors and perfect for a table. (Editing to say that while I was writing, the rainbow bargello appearedI. I love its colors and the quilting it is gorgeous too! I guess I haven't seen many bargello quilts that disappoint!)

This one was quilted with feathers. Not sure if you can see the quilting (?). ManiacQuilter, I love your rainbow affect, and the quilting is beautiful!

Lovely Bargello runner! I tend to use straight or gently curving quilting like Mainiacquilter on runners. I find quilting with curves on the bias of runners or borders tend to cause wavy edges. Does anyone else have this problem?

If you use a color of thread that blends in, the quilting won't detract from the pattern of the quilt. For my avatar I just did an all over stipple in a thread color similar to the fabric and you really can't see it until up close. I also did 2 practice table runners like yours and did regular stitching that followed the curves (also using a thread color that blends).

I always SID in mine, but then I am one of the rare ones who really doesn't like the quilting to show at all. Plus, I just like to SID. I find it very rewarding. On a Bargello, it isn't always possible to "evenly" SID, so I just sir of go at "about 3 inches."
ALL of these table runners are beautiful!!
