Bargello Quilts

These are just beautiful. Not very hard. These are fun to look at and they are amazing patterns

Bargello Quilts

I am excited to try one of these quilts. This book is an excellent addition to a quilter's library and the technique is so very different.

DO-ABLE Bargello Quilts

Marge Edie takes the mystery out of Bargello Quilts. I have admired Bargello Quilts for years, but have steered clear beacause of the complexity of the look of them. When a friend stated an interest, I pursued the art. I started out by going through my local library...then when I found Marge Edie's book, I KNEW it was the one for me! I ordered my own copy immediately! I have my strips all cut for the set of Bargello placemats and am anxious to get them together....then on to bigger!!! Directions are clear and precise...she walks you through every step...from choosing fabrics to the binding...with directions and pictures. GREAT BOOK!

best bargello

If you're looking to get into bargello quilting, this book by far has the best ideas of any other bargello book I've seen. For the mathmatically inclined, there are much more complex ideas and designs in this book to inspire your creation. For those looking for a quick quilt, bargello strip quilting is the fastest way to make a quilt that looks more complex than it really is!

Highly recommend this book for Bargello!

I used this book for the first Bargello quilt I ever made because I was facinated by the quilt on the cover. I read the instruction pages a number of times before I began. It was not difficult to follow the cutting and layout plans. Of course the first one I made WAS the one on the cover. It was a gift for my son's drapery shop and he has had many positive comments and an offer to buy it. I have made two more quilts/wall hangings from this book and have another in mind. I just wish there were specific instructions for some of the pictures. I highly recommend this book!
