I decided to start that Bargello that I've been wanting to make last night. I'm using 17 colors and will try to just lay it out so I can see how I'm going to make it. It'll probably either
1) End up getting taken apart and used as scraps or
2) Be absolutely beautiful!!! Here's a few pictures. Enjoy!

Well, Thank You All Very Much for the encouragement!!! and the vote of Confidence!!! I sure hope it turns out good! If not, I'll have to make a lot of 9 Patches! LOL I saw in the Billie Lauder video and in the Bargello booklet that I have, Not to take apart the seams a bunch at a time. Just take 2 apart and sew them, then take another apart and sew it, etc. But, since I'm not working from a pattern and I wouldn't know what I was "sewing up", I'm taking my seams apart so I can lay it out and see how I want it. This might be a big mistake, but I learn from my mistakes....Usually!
LOL I have 4 rows laid out so far and it looks.....Dumb.
I'll post more pictures as soon as there is "Developing News"! LOL Thanks again for the support!
