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 colours 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-coloured 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. This guide will ease quiltmakers into this technique and give them the confidence to start and finish that quilt they’ve been dying to make.
