    Default My first attempt at bargello (work in progress)
    I still need to add borders (and batting, backing, and binding...) but I'm just so pleased with it I had to take a picture and share! This is my first try at bargello, the pattern is of my own devising. It'll be twin size when done - it's to be a Christmas gift for someone whose favorite colors are purple and turquoise.

    Wow! That is stunning! I didn't know that purple & turquoise were my favorite colors, but after seeing this beauty, come to find out, they are! So you can send it to me before Xmas... LOL! I can't believe you made this pattern up! I'm impressed! Maybe you could do a tutorial on it? That would be awesome!

    I'd be proud of that one too. I haven't tried this yet!
