I just read the entire thread this morning and it was like a suspense movie...thoroughly enjoyed it and can't believe the spectacular result...have you sold her...just wondering...whoever gets it is going to be lucky...I think the price should double since she was a 'finalist'...don't you think?...I mean, she has a title now..!
I can't wait to try one!

Wow...this is so Cool!
Bargello quilts are made to copy the needlepoint, bargello. There are all kinds of shapes/patterns you can do with them. Here are a few pictures of pretty ones that I found on the internet. These are just some of the ways you can design them.
They are awesome.

I love this one too!!!
Hi there dyer804! You are behind! :lol: :lol: I made this without a pattern. I cut my own strips, made my own design and made it all here online under this topic. I finished it in May or something, (I don't remember) and entered it in the McCall's Quilt Design Star Contest. I am a finalist now. You should read this whole topic or look at the pictures as it is pretty long. That will explain everything.
I'm glad you like it. It was really fun making it! Enjoy!
Happy Quilting!

Marilyn, I've only just noticed your beautiful "Swish" Bargello and read of your journey throughout. You have a brilliant imagination - the stipple quilting compliments the swish of the water effect beautifully.
I made my first Becky Bartello free Wall hanging a few months ago, then made a Marge Edie wall hanging which was cut into 3 to make placemats - will send photos in soon.
Have been in and out of hospital 5 times in 13 months with more to come next year so neglected this site for a while. Have also machine embroidered 2 Anita Goodesign UFO quilts since May and begun another. I was enthralled by your Swish Bargello. Thanks for sharing it with us. I have some old Florentine Embroidery books too which are inspirational for tapestry designs!
