EPISODE 127 (4) ~ BARGELLO QUILT Tutorial ~ Part 4

[@thetatteredrose1364]

Jean, I just returned from a holiday week in Cancun, Mexico. Had a wonderful time! Now I am ready to quilt. LOL You are my favourite teacher. I love the repetition because my brain is slowing down, so I need you. You make it all look so easy, but when I sew, it is not. I quilted 3 quilts since I began watching you. So there, whoever you are, who disapproves of Jean’s technique. We are a special crop of quilters. Thanks so much Jean for the time you put into this channel. We all appreciate you!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Someone elses brain which is slowing down!! YAY!! :) LOL! Thank you so much! We ARE special and do things OUR way ~ critics be darned! :) Thank you so much for following along with me! I appreciate your support :!)

[@marvelinosoriohewlett7207]

OMG Jean you are the best teacher. You don’t leave anything to chance. You explain everything so clearly. This quilt is beautiful. I sometimes see a particular quilt being made by someone else and what I do is get the name of the design. With the name of the design I automatically go to your site to learn how to make it because you t teach so well. God bless you and thank you for everything I have learned from you thru the years.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks so much 😊 You are very kind:)

[@mmckerley1]

Hi, Jean. This is turning out so gorgeous. Can't wait to see the finished quilt. You're a lovely person and I look forward to your videos. Keep on doing you and don't worry about the cranky folks. I love your style.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

The cranky ones will ALWAYS be trolling around...but there are so many more nice folks out there ~ like yourself! Thank you so much Millie! :)

[@tigerlilly393]

Hi Jean from all the way from the land down under!!!! You know I have always wanted to make a Bargello quilt but quite often I find the instructions, particularly for the more intricate designs, rather confusing. From what I have seen from your Bargello tutorials, it has definitely given me that much needed AH HA moment, and now I get it it. So thank you so very much. You're such a lovely lady, and I just love your bubbly personality. You're sense of humour is just so infectious. Can not wait for more from you. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌈🦋❤️💚💙💜🤗

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Oh this makes me happy! I was SOOOO daunted by them...but broke it down for MY brain! Happy others 'get it' also! :)

[@cheryl8280]

Ooooops.....Just ignore my question. I jumped the gun. You answered it in the video. But I also wanted to say I love how you put patterned fabrics together. You have such a knack!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I love these florals! :)

[@klmueller8575]

Jean your method is fabulous. Love it.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Kelley!: )

[@norinesmith5082]

I’m making one, using 14 colors, 10 each, for a queen/king. It’s suppose to reveal a heartbeat type of rhythm. WE’LL SEE! LOL.. I love your technique, and will definitely use this method, with 20 fabrics. I think I’ll making the grands one. I only have three, so far.😊😍

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

WHOA!!! That is ambitious! Good for you....The grandbabies will love them!:)

[@lizryan6289]

Your method simplified something which would be too difficult for me. Thanks Jean.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Something too difficult for ME TOO!! :) LOL! You are most welcome :)

[@bonnyhobal2329]

Oh my goodness! Can hardly wait to make one!!!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Trick is to go slow and stay organized and make it YOUR OWN:)

[@roseknapp5591]

wow, that is sooooo cool. I was never going to try that until I watched you. You are my inspiration. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I was never going to try either! But then thought, "Ah, what the heck'!! :) LOL! You are welcome you are welcome you are welcome":)

[@scratchgolfer12]

The back is so pretty it looks like pyramids in front of each other. Thanks to you I am inspired to attempt to make one. You are the best!!!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You MUST TRY! :) You will be so proud of yourself...I know I am!:)

[@happihook1581]

My attempt at Bargello, bought fabric and books with pattern, that was it. Too complex. Never cut one strip! I am thankfully you made this series with all its repetition, emphasis and TIPS. Especially the stay stitch, genius. You are wonderful and enjoyable as a teacher. I now understands the "wave" and how to construct. and design. Your colors are marvelous. Anxiously awaiting part 5.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you for that! Working on Part 5 which is my free motion quilting (after I put top and bottom together)

[@KayInMaine]

Wow! Your quilt is looking amazing!!!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks Kay!:)

[@KayInMaine]

@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory You're welcome, Jean! I have seen your finished quilt top in the first video but it is so beautiful as you progress on it. I will be watching episode 5 tonight when I get home from work! Can't wait.

[@bsdrive]

Just lovely!

[@arnjln]

LOVED the tutorial! I never think about not having a "pattern." Beautiful work ❤️

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Sometimes, just sometimes, Patterns can be a bit overrated! ) Thank you!

[@lucy7b]

Thanks Jean, your explanation of width and perspective, I have no artistic training, made absolute sense to me in terms of the Bargello. I’d always seen the patterns as flat before and as you say far too much like counting graph paper. Thank you so much for this explanation. It make some want to try one now. Previously I’d dismissed Making a Bargello quilt.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I TOO had dismissed making a Bargello...for years!! I thought, Nah, that isn't for me! But once I took the challenge and dove in, broke it down so I could make sense of it, and basically threw away the pattern, THEN it came easy:)

[@christinaf3503]

That is turning out so beautiful. Awesome job. Can't wait for next part.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Christina! It's done and up! :)

[@janestevens9973]

OMG the back looks like a work of art - shame it will be hidden. I have after much deliberation chosen my fabrics and am about to start cutting. Was going to say wish me luck but I won't need it after watching you.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I thought the same when I really looked at it! Almost Art Deco in a way! :) Maybe my next quilt will be 'All About The Seams" LOL!

[@PattiWachowiak]

You have me convinced to give this a try!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I am so pleased! Just keep organized, don't go NEAR your sewing if you are tired or stressed (!LOL) and take it steady......it'll be done in no time! :) All the best:)

[@sarahlebeouf5896]

Just gorgeous!!!!! Great job! Unbelievable. I Love the florals!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

THank you!

You’ve inspired me! I think I can do this!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Elizabeth! I KNOW you can do this :)

[@nysunflower9439]

I LOVE the skinny strips! It adds so much demintion. It's beautiful.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! :) This was fun to make!

[@maryanncasale87]

Jean, i have been following you on this bargello journey and I’m in love with it! You really have inspired me to give it a try and am going to see what I have for fabric to begin as soon as I finish my Dresden plate Xmas tree skirt. (I think Melea would love it!). I can tell you’ve really done your research and have explained beautifully!! Can’t wait for the next episode!! Thank you!! My best from RI, MaryAnn

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

The fun is in the choosing of the fabrics...however many or few you decide! :) Thanks so much MaryAnn!

[@jenniferyoung7565]

Ok I guess I have to add this to my long list of quilts I am planning on making, SO BEAUTIFUL!

[@lafinbrat765]

Oh.. and did I mention how awesome your seams are? It looks like a beautiful pleated skirt on the back side.. very.. VERY nice 😊

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Don't they look just so cool?!?! Thank yoU!

[@veracampbell9583]

Oh Jean it’s beautiful. I just love the way your explaining it. I truly believe we any of us could do this quilt. Thank you so much.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I truly believe it also! :) That makes me very happy and thank YOU!

[@brendaniehaus5627]

Wow! What a beautiful quilting masterpiece!!! (thats what it looks like.! ) I got so excited, I ran to the store and already bought the fabric to try this technique. Thanks for explaining how to create this super colorful quilt . Gotta go, can't wait to start my new bargello quilt! See you soon in U-tube Land.... lol

Great job on this quilt top! I can’t wait to see how you decide to quilt it! Thanks for sharing.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Just put up the video showing the quilting! :)

[@startbline]

I agree with Brenda Biffi! I just haven't seen a bargello quilt that I liked until yours. Funny thing is that I ordered a scrap bag from Moda (first time) and honestly thought I would be receiving end of bolt pieces and instead I got what would amount to a half a jelly roll of strips....beautiful greens and pink fllorals. Guess what I'm going to try to make?? I'll just add to from my stash. Thank you for another great video:)

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

There you go! It is meant to be! :) Have fun and enjoy the process :)

[@rheaelfring6013]

Hi Jean it is beautiful. Unfortunately I need a paper copy. To follow. Do you have a pattern for sale

[@moniquejones1752]

After watching this I made my 1st one.. it looks beautiful just llike yours

Oh how wonderful!! :) YAY!! Did you love the process?!?! Send me a pic at [e-mail] !!

[@moniquejones1752]

I absolutely enjoyed the process, it was so easy. I emailed you my bargello quilt that I made from scraps, I didn't have the nerve to buy material and possibly waste it if I failed , I succeeded :-) Please let me know what you think ? It's not perfect it curves in places I didn't intend but it gave it more character

Thank you so much for your very explicit instructions on the Bargello quilt ! I’ve always wanted to try one but too intimidated by all the confusing patterns. You have certainly simplified the basic idea and inspired me to give one a try ! Thanks again for the help and hints along the way . You are a wonderful teacher !! 💕🌷💕

You know I never really liked bargello quilts and it just looked like so much work but I love the way yours has come out the colors you chose are just so pretty it came out absolutely beautiful and now that you explained it is actually very easy so I im definitely going to start one now. Thank you for the tutorials cant waite to see it completed

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You and me both!! I didn't quite LOVE the look, but I like the florals and the softness look of mine, with all due respect to the other bold ones! :) You really must try! It is easy! But remember......you know.......cut, sew, iron, repeat repeat repeat!

[@busybeaver793]

Hi Jean ~ I was heading off to bed when I noticed you had posted an update. Your quilt is looking lovely. I did a bit of sewing today but I sewed on the wrong ends. Oh well I will have a date with Jack the Ripper tomorrow! :-) Thank you for the update and I will be looking forward to your next update.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks! I've had MANY a date with old Jack! :)

[@janetdiesnis456]

Lovely. I was so inspired I decided to use two bits of jelly roll pieces that I had made up but not used. A long story. I cut it out, laid it on the bed and somehow mixed two pieces up just going to the sewing machine. Talk about sulk! Today is the day after so I will be unpicking it. I was too cross last night 😁😁. Going to make a 'proper' one next.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You need to Step Away From The Machine!! Go have a cup of tea, relax and have a laugh! Then it will be alright! :) All the best :)

[@janetdiesnis456]

@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory I did Jean. I took it apart then sewed it all up again being VERY careful. All done. Used up the two jelly roll oddments and I love it. Not very big but both the top and bottom edge are the same size which was a shock😁. Always a first time I suppose.

[@mariangohman2728]

finally understand the Bargello process. Just a side note, first day of Home Economics the teacher tells us, "if you sew your finger do not yank your hand out until we raise the needle out of it". We were horrified and you can guess what everyone was thinking as they sewed. To this day 45 years later everyone says that is the first thing they think of when sewing.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yes, my home ec teacher, Ms. Davis, said the EXACT SAME THING! :) I have been VERY lucky so far :)

Amazing

[@cheryl8280]

Yes I AM going to try one, Jean. I think I mentioned in a previous comment I've finished my lone star and I couldn't have done it without your advise on avoiding "Y" seams! And you just plagiarize away!! We all benefit from it because you pass along such fantastic hints and tips. Your bargello is absolutely beautiful!! I'm amazed at how tidy the back is. Iron, Iron, Iron, huh? I know how you ironed (pressed) it when you were first putting your strips together, but did you press the seams all in one direction on your "finished" product? Looks like it.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Did I ever mention that you should IRON well!??!!? LOL! I DID press all the seams in the top half all one way.....and also in the bottom half the identical way....but I SHOULD have, maybe, pressed the bottom seams the OTHER WAY, just so that the attaching the top and bottom halves would have nested a bit better. But I used pins and it's fine....Whatever! :) LOL!

[@bonnyhobal2329]

I hope you see this Jean!!!! I have a beautiful flower print with white.brown black and a little grey. Your creativity inspires me so I'm asking what colors would you use? I do have solid black.brown and white fabric. I'm stuck. Lol. Oh how I wish I knew you personally. I would be over all the time...lol. sending the biggest hug.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I sure have seen this!! :) Hope my answer helps! I would incorporate a bit of yellow or even a bit of red for a bit of extra zing to your quilt. Browns, blacks, grays are all very well and good and a good 'quiet' quilt, but you might just want to add a bit of color (perhaps your favorite?) to zing things up just a bit:)

[@bonnyhobal2329]

Thank you thank you thank you. Pink is my favorite. Also bought a bunch of baby material today. Gonna start the rag quilts. So excited!!!!!

[@bernadettebenavidez379]

It actually looked pretty cool. When it was up side down with the green peak at the bottom

HI Jean , I could not help but notice the beautiful roses on your machine. please tell me you didn't paint it on and I can buy flowers to put on my machine. the barjello turned out gorgeous I am in the middle of one myself, you give me courage to try my own cuts instead of following a pattern.

Hi Jean! Before I watch your tutorial I want to tell you, I googled Bargello quilts... so many came up, none as inspirational as yours. All these weird shapes of same color fabrics, many many different values, not my kind of quilts. I love your flowery flowers, your style, my style. ha ha ha.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yes, there are MANY bold and fantastic Bargellos out there! I prefer the softer, yet 'seamed' way of a flowery fabric selection)

[@denisemcintosh7568]

Jean, not sure if u will see this but do u think a stay stitch at the end is a good idea? Lol nvm u answer it in the video if i would have just watch another min lol.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

LOL! Yup! Did it!

[@emds698]

Like I said in the last video it so remarkable how easy you made this quilt. The colors are lovely the pattern came out beautiful would you care to sell me the amount of fabric I need to do this? ; ). I would change my colors so much that I won't get to do it.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Marisol! I can't sell you the fabric at this point...(lots of people ask me....I wouldn't have any left! LOL), but it would be easy to collect a bit (1/3 yard) now and then to make your own! Just don't stress overly about your color choices! It's important, but more importantly if YOU like it! :)

[@emds698]

Jean you are a doll, I have your color theme in mine so when I go shopping for it. I'm also glad I wasn't the only one asking about the fabric, have a blessed day

[@suesmith5033]

Could you after you cut both your strips for top and bottom sewed them together lengthwise so make one very long strip and then sewed tofetherclike that? I hope that makes sense?!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

YES!! That DOES make sense! Why the heck aren't YOU doing the tutorial:??! LOL! LOL!

[@JOHANNA-qd6iz]

Looking good. Have you ever thought of purchasing a long arm or is it something that does not interest you.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! I one time, really thought I would like a long arm, but when I went to a quilt shop and tried one, found it really wasn't for me. I love the feel of the quilt on my lap and like the fact that, even though I have to wrestle with it, that I can create my own free motion quilting designs. However, the fact that you can quilt a quilt in SUCH LITTLE time.....well maybe I will have a re-think :)

[@maxiedoodle]

It's stunning! Now, if I were to use one 42 strip jelly roll would I work with my 2 strip sets side by side (like your top two) or would they be attached as a top and a bottom?

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Let me see.....oh, you are asking me Math!!! :/ But I will try....If you put your strip sets side by side (in the approximate way I've constructed mine), your 'quilt' would finish at about 60" x 40" - but your design (if looked at up and down) would appear to be from 'side to side' rather than up and down. If you constructed both sets top and bottom, made the way I did, your 'quilt' would finish about 30" x 78", but your design would read up and down ~ but it would be a long narrow quilt. Perhaps just 20 or 25 strips, then the rest could be used as a border?!?! Hope this helps! I don't really know if it will! LOL!

[@maxiedoodle]

@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory You know, your advice is awesome! I absolutely can use part of it and see what happens!

[@bonnyhobal2329]

Hi Jean. Really hoping you get this message. I bought the cutest fabric that has kangaroos and crocodiles and koloa bears on it. Baby style. My issue is not sure what to do with it. Each baby animal has a outline around it. Kinda a square around it but parts aren't completely squared off you you understand me. What style or type of quilt could I make. I'm so stuck. Cute fabric for babies.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Hi Bonny! I envision a simple 'patch' block type quilt ~ highlighting the lovely novelty figures (cut out as square as possible~or even putting on small borders to 'square' each one up) and then simple coordinating squares ~ pulling colors from the animal prints (but let the animals be the focal ~ not too many other busy prints). A pretty outside border and Baby will be thrilled! LOL!

[@bonnyhobal2329]

Thank you Jean! I understand what your saying. You think it would be ok like that..part of the animal would be gone. Example part of the crocodiles tail or the kangaroos ear.lol Jeez I wished I could show you this fabric. So so so cute. I actually went through tons of videos and the closet was an attic window which would kinda work. I dont know. Lol.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Sometimes you have to be careful with attic windows quilts....you can get the odd 'ear' or leg' showing in the next window, detached from whence it came!! LOL! It usually looks okay though even saying.....but I think you are correct ~ attic windows is probably the way to go!

[@bonnyhobal2329]

[@mukwah1111]

Hi please help - I am confused about how the top left and bottom left are the same cuts - are you cutting 2 strip sets at the same time - then setting aside one of the strips and then sewing the other ....... just not sure about this part. Many thanks

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yes, that is exactly what I am doing. Being VERY careful to place the top strip I've cut to another safe place and so on, keeping the order exactly the same. I said, joking, but not joking, Keep your cat out of your sewing room! LOL! Because the last thing you need is for your strips to get messed up! Other than this organizational matter, this quilt is fun and easy to put together! Believe it or not:)

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

@@mukwah1111 AH! Just remember, if you put your strips safely down and place one on top of the other, remember to TURN THE PILE OVER so that the first strip you sew is in the correct position. Does that make sense? Hope so!:) And you are most welcome:)

[@donnarichey144]

Jean do you really have to have 20 different fabrics? Did you paint the flowers on your machine? I was telling the lady that worked at Joanne fabrics about you and how you made up your own pattern for making a bargello quilt. I told her how much I love your videos. Told her to check you out.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Donna, you can use as many or as few fabrics as you like! As wide strips as you like! Because when you go to cut your strips, the seams, staggered, will match up every time! :) Thank you for being a fan! )
