Create vibrant, fluid pattern in this small quilt. Twenty pre-cut strips are sewn into strata and then cut into segments. Pattern emerges as you manipulate the strips into a design that pleases your eye. No mathematical grid to follow!  No pattern required. You are the designer!

You will be introduced to the principles of bargello, learn to make your jelly roll strips flow smoothly, and sew the stratas together. These strata will be sub cut and the designing begins!  Tips on perfect intersections, pressing, quilting options, and border treatments also included.

Supply List:

Sewing machine in good working order

Basic Sewing Supplies including seam ripper and straight pins

Medium Sized cutting mat/rotary cutter with new blade

Large square ruler to square up your piece before adding borders.

Stripology XL ruler (optional, but what a joy to use!)

Neutral thread

Your own design wall (piece of fleece or batting about 45” wide or a flannel-backed tablecloth) with tape 

Wooden pressing stick for pressing seams open (required!)

Fine tip sharpie

Fabric Requirements:

20 WOF strips cut 2.5” wide (I would recommend purchasing a jelly roll.  It gives more options to work with a color flow, share with others in class, or you could potentially make two quilts with it.)

¼ yard:  Inner Border or flange.  This fabric needs to “stop” the motion of the bargello, so needs to be a solid or texture, not a print.

½ yard:  Second Border (a bridge between borders)

1 ½ yards:  Outer border (this is enough to also include binding) Not too busy, but can be a fabric from the same line of your jelly roll. 

1/2 yard for different fabric binding (optional)

3 yards backing
