Thank you Irishrose2! The last one was the hardest for me to select the colors but it was fun to make!

Thank you Judith1005--they were all here for Spring Break and I was finishing up a Bargello quilt. They all decided they wanted a quilt for Christmas so I sat down with them and my IPad and we selected patterns and colors for each of them. They all live in Virginia so it was extra special time spent together. I'm making pillowcases for each of them to match their quilts since none of them use pillow shams. I can't wait for Christmas this year!

Thank you 5moose--the fusible web wasn't bad to work with--tracing & cutting out 132 of the "leaves" took some time tho!@

Thank you aQuiltist! I hope you do post pictures--I read this board every morning and love looking at the pictures of quilts. Have fun making your quilts!

Thank you Toni C!! Bargello quilts are my favorite to make--I'm fairly new to quilting having only made 8 quilts and 4 of them have been Bargello patterns.

I especially love the orange/ red, and your color selections are outstanding on all of them. I hope someone can tell me where to buy the pattern.

Hi Just Jan--I purchased the electronic pattern from craftsy.com but you can contact the designer Becky Botello at:
[email protected] and she may be able to tell you if she has the pattern in a book. The digital pattern was 14 single sided pages--I printed my purchase and it's in a 3 ring binder with my other purchased e-patterns. Hope this helps!
