Hello Maniacquilter, both of your quilts are beautiful. I have More Twist & Turn Bargello by Eileen Wright and A New Slant on Bargellos by Marge Edie. So far have only made a runner from Marge's book which is cut into placemats afterwards. My daughter loves your rainbow coloured runner, would you mind telling me where the pattern came from please. It looks very like the Bargello Bed Runner in Eileen's book!

I've been in a big slump lately til I laid eyes on your red, white , & black runner. Since I have the book.i immediately went to my stash & pulled fabrics similar to yours. I have the tubes made & I hope mine turns out close to as beautiful as yours. Thanks so much for giving me the push I've needed.

I just thought that if you wanted to make a smaller project using a Bargello pattern, I would suggest making a table runner?? I found this pattern in Twist and Turn Bargello Quilts by Eileen Wright. I have been passionate about Bargello designs since High School when the only Bargello design you could make was by doing needlepoint. I found these table runners very easy to make and both recipients thought they were stunning.
I'm I love it & it's stunning on my coffee table. I don't know how to post a pix since I only have an iPad right now. Thank you so much for encouraging me to make another Bargello project. My first was a double heart queen size quilt top which still needs to be sandwiched.
I must be crazy but I love the challenge of Bargello.

Yes, it is on my bucket list and your quilt is to die for beautiful! I almost tackled one a few weeks ago and chickened out. I was working with a jelly roll and thought this would be perfect. I have another identical jelly roll and the plan is to use it for a Bargello Quilt. I have several books here to guide me through the process. I am looking forward to making one.
