What would you do next?
I have 1/2 of this Bargello quilt done, not following a pattern. I am trying to decide how I continue this design. I really like what I have ...you will have to turn your head to look at the design, as I had to take the picture sideways to get it all...but time to figure out where I go next.
I will get out my graph paper and colored pencils next, but which how would you continue the design? If I "go up" to match what I have, it may just look like a big W. Of course, that might be okay...
Any suggestions are welcome!! Thanks.

That looks pretty cool. Sorry I haven't attempted this pattern and while ! think it might be cool to make it look like a heart tracing monitor print out, I'm pretty sure others will have great ideas to share with you. Good luck!

I don't follow a pattern when I make bargellos, I just kind of go for it. I would probably just keep zigging and zagging up and down at random intervals....probably not all that helpful, am I?!?
It looks great though, you have a really nice gradient in your colors. Makes me think of coffee and chocolate. Yum! Just keep doing what you've been doing, it's totally working!

Hi Dina
First, what width do you want to make this quilt?? I LIKE what you have done so far. Why not just start reversing using the center of your 2nd shorter point. Then if you need additional width, you can add from the two edges maybe working into a curve out to the edge. HOPE this helps. You are certainly on the right track !!!

I will keep posting, asking for opinions, I am sure.
