I've down several Bargello quilts. The first one I did, I SID - bad, terrible idea - it didn't look bad, but all the turning was a nightmare! So now, I FMQ, usually treating several similar colors/rows as one. I'll choose a color that would look good on those several rows and then do some sort of design, whether its a feather, or just meandering, across those rows. Then I change thread as the colors change. I've drawn on this pink ribbon Bargello to sort of illustrate what I mean. Sorry it's on it's side - don't know what happened!
thanx all for your input

The last bargello I did, I quilted from the back. I measured and marked all corners and midpoints, then drew the flowing design from there. It was a breeze that way and I didn't get distracted by the many colors on the front. Yours came out very nice.
