It is beautiful, I would like to do one but I have not the nerve yet to try and figure out what colors I would do
and if they would look as nice as yours does.

Yes, figuring out the colors is the hardest part. Whatever you do, don't select an odd number of colors. I did, and now it has messed up the ironing, as you are supposed to press to all the even number strips. I just couldn't decide which color to leave out...I had already narrowed it down from 35 to 21. I really would have had it easier if I had gotten it down to 20.

But, if I can do a Bargello, anyone can, I promise.

I was wondering what you would decide to do and wow, you nailed it. Absolutely gorgeous and your quilting assistant looks like he approves. He knows talent when he sees it. Great job!

I love the pattern & color scheme. I think it was a wise choice. If it were brighter colors AND had all of the movement of a Bargello, it might be too much to have 2 in 1 room! Please let us see when you are finished!
