Beautiful Bargello pattern is ready!

I had originally hoped to have this pattern ready in August, but it's been such a busy year! So ask your local shop to contact me if you like it and they don't have it yet.

Beautiful Bargello II

Somehow in the midst of everything else I've got going on right now, I've managed to finish the second version of the Beautiful Bargello pattern that I'm working on. Don't fabric choices really change the look of a quilt! This one started with one of those jelly roll fabric bundles that are popular right now (the roll has more than enough strips to make two of these quilts). The roll is from Moda's Roman Holiday line of fabrics, and I purchased coordinating yardage for the back, borders and binding. I'll let you know when the pattern is finished and available (should be this fall).

Beautiful Bargello quilt is finished!

Well here it is, this is a re-creation of the quilt that was made for a gift in December 2006 that was never photographed. The other quilt has the dark blues at the bottom, however when I showed this one to my husband, he looked at the fan pattern in a couple of the fabrics and said the shape looked like mountains. Sooo, this one was turned 180 degrees to give the illusion of a bold, beautiful garden with mountains and a deep blue sky, remiding me of the tulip fields up in Mt. Vernon, WA. I'm planning to make more of these having various fabric styles and then a pattern, which I hope to have ready in the fall.

Bargello in progress

Here's a preview of my bargello quit. It's coming along, and as long as I don't get too many interuptions this week it might just get finished. Right now the center panel is quilted, so I just need to quilt the borders, as well as details like binding and the hanging sleeve.
