Great job! I love the bargellos. Trying to get up the nerve here to try one. I did a scrappy bargello but it doesn't look anything like this!

Oh my gosh, it's stunning. I love it. I can't wait to get my fabric to do mine.

I agree!

I think it needs a border to stop the eye. Just a plain border, light blue or something similar. :D

I am going to try to make a pink breast cancer ribbon bargello. I need 21 pink fabrics from light to dark. I hope I can find enough different pinks. I have tried to find a selection on the internet, but there are some pinks that look peach when you put them side to side.

I live in a small town I may have to make a trip to a bigger city.

I am going to Madison, Wisconsin in September do they sell fabric there?

Since it is only 40 inches square, I would put both a frame and border. If you want it for a wall hanging, then just put a binding to pop the colors.
