Beginner Bargello Quilting

Every quilter, modern or traditionalist, has either made a bargello pattern or has one on their list of future projects to make. It's essentially strip piecing, a beginner technique learned early on, but with fabrics and colors strategically placed so the results are a design in motion. Unlike scrappy patchwork, bargello starts and follows a plan – one fabric misplaced can spoil the effect, but the organized approach is well worth it. Bargello can be multi-colored or varying shades from the same family, but every quilt is bold and eye-catching, and bargello will forever be part of the quilting landscape. Beginner Bargello Quilting will ease quiltmakers into this technique and give them the confidence to start and finish that quilt they've been itching to tackle. Quilters will find this book: • Covers different methods – strips set, and "unsewing" • Includes 10 patterns of varying sizes including baby • Shares tips and tricks for fabric selection, seam alignment and more • Adds a clever appliqué touch • Provides finishing and binding information
