Fantastic quilt!!! The colors are beautiful. You obviously have an eye for that. Bargello quilts simply amaze me. I would love to do one but am scared to death to try it. Thanks for showing yours.

It's all pinned and under the influence of starch now...I'm having a hard time with the direction "Now, leave it alone!" :-D

Borders--what if I added a 2" border in the green--then a narrow border of one of the florals--then another green? That'w what the directions say to do--and it'd look cool. BUT--everthing I add to this top will mean many more places I can't fit it to hang it up. Decision, decisions.

I designed a baby bargello idea...have started that. As soon as I get on a roll it's time to go back to work! Bah! Oh wait--that's what pays for fabric. Never mind! :lol:

********
Later--the quilting room is chilly so I just used a hair dryer on it (haven't used one of those in 30 years!) to try to speed things up. Maybe I'll leave it over night.
