❤️🇬🇧⭐️FAST & EASY FREE QUILT PATTERN - BEGINNER BARGELLO - STASHBUSTER

THIS IS A FAST AND EASY QUILT to use up your stash. The Beginner Bargello is available in three sizes. One of my main quilting goal this year is to use up my fat quarter bundles but that is often harder than it seems. I have some tips on how to use up those fabrics that don't seem to play nicely with each other.

I know this is an older video, but I have to say that when this video first aired - I loved that fabric and wanted it so badly. Now I've watched this video so many times (I still haven't made a quilt like this) that I'm no longer dying for that fabric. So funny!

Yes 😂it’s funny! I thought the same thought 😂!

[@carolynkauppila346]

I am a grandma and worry that I am going to overload my kids and grandkids with quilts. I was stressing over a gift for a 10 year old grandson, sure a quilt be the last thing he wanted. On my way out he calls to me saying Grandma I need a new blanket. As they get older I ask them to pick. My 13 year old grand daughter wants a bargello.

[@marlenekirkham5736]

I'm binge watching you videos. I am determined to use up my stash and all little bits of fabric. Can't take it with me and none of my 3 daughters are interested in sewing. I've been sewing since I was 9. It has been over 20 years since I made any quilts. Wish me luck!

[@ravensmokedancer8242]

Today I took the day off from work to go register my car, go to the fabric store and quilt!! When my daughter found out that I was going to the fabric store, she stopped me and said "No Mom! Karen said you are supposed to shop from your stash!!!" That was hysterical!! My daughter and I both love your channel Karen!! Thank you so much for the inspiration!!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

My work is done 😊

[@HenrikMundorf]

I love your videos. Even when I don't need the tips or o don't like the pattern, I still like to watch you talk and sew. Thank you for making videos.

[@jennifershea7587]

Thank you for the tips on using hard to use fabrics. I’ve collected a lot of these. Loved the fussy cuts too. I had to rewatch though, because I got a little confused about stacking the strips into the piles to sew. It’s easy, but I didn’t quite get it at first. Anyone else who’s lost, just rewatch and it will make sense.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I was missing that shot unfortunately...lay them out until you see the pattern emerge that you like. then stack the fabrics so that you can sew them in order

[@yvethemetriccrafter688]

I'm so glad you told us the tip about cutting the strips strait when it's too long for the mat, brilliant. Thank you so much.

[@rhondahallet8413]

I am an old quilter who is just getting back in the game. I was unable to sew for about 5 years due to health issues and you have truly inspired me. I am looking for my new first project and you have given me some great ideas. I will let you know when I start my quilt and send you a photo of my progress. I have severe RA in my hands and back so I am limited on some of the things I can do but I think with the new pre-cuts and your tips and tricks, I just might be able to pull this off.

[@2doodledo]

I admire your determination. Just do your best. God bless you!!!

[@mariejoelleisidore4832]

😢m mm]aàààà

[@SheilaMcLendon]

The overall look of this quilt makes me think London Bridge, love it!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

They are really fun fabrics

[@tracycuthbert2894]

Karen, thank you for two things 1) the demo on basting. This is the clearest I have seen and a great idea and 2) including the quilting ideas. Love your work and all the inspiration

[@karenrogers2826]

Sometimes I just to have to be in a sewing mood, and if I’m not, then I won’t be sewing anything. I do like to watch others create with their material and fabric stash, though, hoping it puts me in the sewing mood. Love your videos!

[@rosemariecox6679]

HI Karen, thanks so much for the cool advise of making fat quarter quilt. But I got a lot of joy seeing you build the backing by taping the fabric to the wall and not on the floor. I am 6ft and a bad knee. I don't know who I learned laying the backing on the floor but I loved your solution, so thanks. from Rosie from Brisbane, Queensland Australia.

[@yvettepritchard3983]

Hello I dont quilt but I do love watching you and learning from you I crochet but I do like to watch other crafter do there magic .

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I found other crafts inspire me too

[@studio8315]

I, like several others, was really confused on this one. Not sure why because I love your tutorials. Love the back side of the final piece!!

[@Coastalanne54]

Thank you for showing the quilting you did.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

you're welcome 😊

[@wandagail5802]

Love all your videos fuess im keeping all my scraps

[@lucyl.4356]

I have got to thank you!!! On one of your videos you offered a great idea about making a ledge with masking tape what a game changer that was for me. Why I never thought about that, I don't know. I almost can close my eyes and still sew straight. My eyes don't get nearly as tired as they used to. I haven't started to quilt yet. I'm trying to watch enough videos that I'm going to feel like okay go for it. That has not happened yet. I love everything that you make it's gorgeous.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Just go for it. Don’t worry about perfection. Start small and go from there.

[@lisaroper421]

Coming back to this after shopping my mom's stash to make a blanket for my sister! I will be doing the twin size with mostly fat quarters, so wish me luck that I can adjust it to fit the size we want with the fabrics we have!

[@lucillatavares44]

I live in Lisbon and love your videos. Patchwork for me is a therapy.

[@beckyscheller9358]

Needed this has trying to use up my stash of fabrics I bought and hard to put them together. More scrap quilts please. Glad to see you again!

[@suewade8613]

Oh yes...just like jewels. I can't resist shiny objects, and for me that means textiles!

[@karencondon4934]

You are a fabulous teacher! Your passion is genuine and infectious. I like that you are a problem solver who provides tips and tricks to make our quilting skills even better. My weakness is buying Moda scrap bags, so I’m always on the lookout for quilt patterns to use the various strip widths contained in a single bag. Stashbusting, here I come!

[@alisongibbs3713]

I made my own bargello quilt with bundles of fat quarters that I'd had for years. You inspired me to dig them out and use them - your instructions were fabulous. I made the quilt top in just under 5 hours. Now to sandwich and quilt. Thank you!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Well done 👏👏👏

[@lynnehrmantraut9167]

Coffee was so much more enjoyable this morning with a side of your new video - Happy Friday!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I like to imagine us all with our mugs

[@lynn2551]

I'm enjoying my coffee while I watch this video too!

[@lynneschultz316]

Gems: This pattern is good for directional fabric; line up seams with lines on mat; use a solid; and the wall to make the sandwich. Thank you for these 💎! Looks like a city skyline!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thanks for listening 😊

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Thanks for the pattern tutorial, Karen. I also like to spray baste my quilts using my Multi-Purpose Quilt Spray which is quick, easy and inexpensive to make. I never have to worry about running out as I can just whip up some more as needed.

[@szelop]

Chatterbox Quilts Please share your recipe for the quilt basting spray!

[@Craftynumbernerd]

Happens. Every. Time! Those packs are just so cute!

[@ellenrose2533]

Excellent pattern. I have some "I love London" fq's and wondered how to use them. Perfect....Thanks so much

[@rosemarykriegel3226]

For a new quilter who has no stash I find this a wonderful idea. Maybe I will learn to like solids. "Necessity is the mother of invention." That's you with your spray basting in the stair well. Great job, Karen!

[@Nevertoosweet2eat]

Thanks for sharing. I have decided that I am not a quitter, I am a fabric collector. Now I have to get brave enough to cut them. Thanks for the tips. I should start soon.....maybe 😁

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

We all have that worry that we’ll ruin our fabrics by cutting them. Just do it. Our first quilts are all about learning. Lots of beautiful fabrics can replace them

[@theresafinn4257]

Your fabrics made me smile.

[@marydevlin9559]

Great video. Now this pattern makes sense to me. Thank you. Love the quilt!

[@rosemarynasralla3768]

Oh my goodness I got lost at “make 3 piles” - and I’ve made a bargello quilt before !! 😧I am going to watch again and pay closer attention. But thank you for a wonderful detailed tutorial.

[@TheMelanieGrace]

This was great! I too fall in love with Fat Quarter Bundles and then I have NO idea what to do with them. You made this look so easy!

[@elenalanglois]

Love your FQ bundle! Great selection of blue and coral to create the eye-resting zones. The backing is awesome!!!

[@carmenbailey8209]

Thanks for sharing, I like this version I find it’s easy on the eyes. I’ll have to refer back to this one for sure. Again thanks. 👍❤️😊

[@inezaultman1850]

So much good information. Might I kindly suggest that you do something to mitigate the ring light flashing on your glasses? Every time you nod up and down it flashes.

[@C12133]

I love ❤️ this quilt, both sides!!!!😍

[@jennifermaddock4382]

Wonderful, as usual. Great one for large scale prints. Keep those stashbusters coming!

[@clombard7134]

Love this video! Thanks for your tips and perfect instructions!

[@bobbieminami4484]

I appreciate your detailed instructions and tips! I like your warnings, too. I truly look forward to your videos. Ty

[@kandaykerr3653]

Thank you for all the great tips & tricks! This will be a great project for me to try.

[@MeMe-hh7gq]

Thank you! I’ve wanted to make a bargello design quilt but was afraid to without a good instructor! I’ve watched other instructional videos but your approach and explanation just make so much sense from color selection, which is so important to me, to construction. I’m excited to look through my stash and find which collection of fabrics will make my FIRST bargello!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

so glad this makes sense

[@kshav62]

I LOVE your tips on color! Thank you for your video tutorials!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I love talking about color

[@tesslevmart]

Love the London fabrics you’ve used... 👍❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@denisek5208]

a great quilt pattern to use for directional prints. 👍 thanks for sharing

[@eleanorroome2645]

I just wish I could get a quilt done as speedy as you do - what a quilting wonder you are!

[@dsmith436]

Love your video’s. They are so helpful and I feel like your talking right to me. That’s for all your hard work. The quilt turned out fabulous and the back was amazing too. 💖

[@melissagrove2874]

Very well thought out videos with great instruction!!! Thank you!

[@deelankford1180]

I Love all of your advice. To take it slower..... Hit my Heart, Thank you

[@l.m.o.8948]

Fun you mentioned Sew Sisters I love browsing their fabric and when you order you receive it in record time. 🇨🇦

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Nice store

[@lanausselillian]

So beautiful

[@angela2645]

Rewatching this to make a baby quilt with this pattern. I only have 4 fabrics and I'm going to repeat them. I'll send you a pic when I'm done!

[@angiemcdermid4845]

Love these secrets. So much to think about.

[@suejameson1517]

Just love your videos! So glad you are. Doing more! X

[@babepenguin1246]

“It’s far from perfect and I’m okay with that.” Self acceptance. Love this!

[@sheilamichael1336]

My favorite reason that I keep watching your channel :-)

[@bfama2578]

Yes, fat quarter bundles have followed me home!

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

What a great stash buster! I’m always looking for a fast an easy quilt pattern-especially for all those random fat quarters that pile up on the shelf.

[@glendahopp]

Wow! I learned so much from this video. Adding the solids and your decisions on the values is genius!!! Thanks so much.

[@karenh789]

I decided to cut my stash down to precut sizes. I don't have much in yardage, mostly left overs from quilts I have already made ,and this is the way I feel I'll be more inclined to us up what I already have. It's been a fun process.😊

[@MaryChrapliwy]

the template you made for marking your fabric is genius. Beautiful design, that's for sharing

[@fritzsparky]

Thank you for one more informative and inspirational video. I think I’m going to finally do something with my fat quarters.

[@kathleen.rogers1442]

Thank you Karen 😊 another great tutorial especially with color explanation which is something I have the most problems with 😊

[@pamelacrooker9274]

I have been wanting to make a bargello and was intimidated but your pattern is so much easier. I cannot wait to get started!

[@debracampbell5151]

Also, regarding this video, I really appreciate your tip to put a solid in as a bridge. I was debating this very point in my mind yesterday.

[@angiedefreitas5060]

Great way to start a Friday!

[@laurapigg3637]

You are such a treasure. I appreciate your dedication to quilting. I think you give the greatest instructions. Thank you!!

[@DiVaIve]

Wow! stunning!

[@pattyhargrove3430]

You are so fabulous... so glad I found your videos!!

[@jankalonick4771]

Well if I just waited I would have gotten the information I needed. Thank you for the info!!

[@sheilasymanski5517]

I love this tutorial!! I have fabric I would love to use. It is clear and love the tips. Great new video. Thanks!!!

[@rolandajones4202]

Thanks. Very beautiful and simple.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Sometimes using your fabrics is one big puzzle. And it takes a bit of time to work your way through it. Today’s video is actually two in one. A Stashbuster and Tips to use those puzzling fabrics. I truly love the resulting quilt. And my sons have already put it to good use. Share and sew on...oh and the fabric is on sale at Sew-sisters if you want to grab a set...link above in the notes. (not sponsored) NOTE I know the glare on my glasses is distracting...one day I’ll have staff to manage the lighting

[@philmckay4176]

Do you wash all fabrics before using?

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Phil McKay I have not in the past as I have used a lot of fat quarters. I am experimenting with prewashed fabrics now with a couple of projects. Have you seen my Shrinkage videos?

[@abby7038]

PLEASE do some FMQ tutorials! Esp. With the straight lines you did in this!! I know there are a million FMQ tutorials BUT you have an amazing gift of explanation. ❤️ Now I better go look to see if you’ve already made those videos before and I missed them. 😂

[@lucyclabaugh2931]

I love your tutorials! You definitely help by explaining how and why you choose your fabric colors. Your quilts always ‘make sense’ from a color sense when I see them finished. Love watching your color theory videos and actually all of your videos 😁. You are a calming influence on my anxiety 😳 of cutting into my fabrics.Thank you!!! 👏🏻😊👏🏻

[@raeannrobinson3087]

I'm sucker for layer cakes !! Just can't resist bringing them home

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

May I ask what it is that appeals to you over, jelly rolls or fat quarters...honest question.

[@raeannrobinson3087]

@@JustGetitDoneQuilts I'm new to sewing so the size of the fabric feels more manageable to me to cut. Cutting fabrics is still scary for me, I'm not very good at getting straight lines yet haha 😊

[@maimieabrego94]

Hi Karen - through my journey in getting my fabrics inventoried I found kits that I thought were good buys, but I will never use. I actually asked myself - "What were you thinking getting this kit???" I am going to use this method to get some stash busting quilts done. I am getting some quilts together to send to my longarm quilter too. The satisfaction in getting things cleaned and organized has been really nice. Actually re-organizing my sewing room as I inventory. Thank you for all the great tips. This pattern actually made sense as I watched the video and I saw so many combinations to use up my mountain of fabric..

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Glad to hear

[@honeypeggylou]

Yes indeed, I have a ton of fat quarters and I just keep adding to my stash! I’m pretty sure this is an addiction! Love your videos...hoping to get motivated to get busy quilting! ❤️🥰💜🥳🐝

[@TheFamousDana]

Looking at the finished quilt, many of the pattern appear to be a silhouette of buildings. The fabrics all being a British theme, it seems like London.. ~smiles~ so many of these are very busy fabrics, but together they are a theme. I love a theme, i also love your tips on how to make it work with adding solids. Thank you for your channel.

[@wilycat5290]

Cute bargello quilt. Thanks for more great tips. Your tutorials are great.

[@schuylerdade]

Hi Karen. I'm a newish young quilter in Chicago and am finding it hard to meet other quilters. I watched the video where you talked about your trip to Missouri Star with envy. But I was thinking while watching this that I bet your followers are the kind of supportive people I'd like to meet. So if you decided to do a quilting retreat, know that I'd be there.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Have you checked out one of the modern guilds in Chicago?

[@craftystash8667]

I'll have to try this one out..reminds me of my Bargello needlepoint days in the 70s😁

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

It’s all coming back

[@_Lynaed_]

Thank you for sharing. This is going to be my next project 👍

[@yoandromeda]

It turned out beautiful

[@fancyd66]

Thank you, Karen!(the internet sensation!) I have several FQbundles that need to be used up! I loved meeting you on Christmas Eve day at Lens Mills!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Phenomenal! I have 3 bins of fat quarteres upstairs - perfect and such clear directions 😊 thanks for all your expertise

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

So glad to hear that.

[@GeminiPeg]

It was difficult for me to follow then I read your pattern and got it. Love your stash buster quilts, keep ‘em comin’😉

[@karenhoskins9126]

I usually don’t like bargellos, but your use of wider vertical stripe made this appealing to my eye. Thanks. A friendly suggestion-women on FB quilting pages SO frequently preface their picture of their latest quilt with the words “it isn’t perfect” and it drives me and others bonkers. I understand the impulse to say that and fight my inclination to say it myself! But we as women need to not say that type of thing. I hope you will avoid saying it in the future, and perhaps even devote a part one of your tutorials to the issue. You are a blessing ❤️

[@Maria_O]

Good call on the quilting! It gives your quilt more visual interest.

[@ccpperrett7522]

Going to my stash right now to Just Get It Done! Thank you for this very informative, creative, lovely and concise video. Exit stage left!👍👀👈

[@serratedgem]

Love this. Needed an idea for a quilt to make as a gift for my Grandma. She’s from England so it’s the perfect fabric to use and an easy pattern! Ordered the fabric, and now I wait. 💕

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

👍

[@gwynwellliver4489]

I love both the fabric and the pattern. I have some one yard bundles with 5 separate prints from the same line. I have struggled with how to use them. I think you solved my problem! Thank you!!

This is more complicated than beginner level. You made me dizzy with your tricks to keep the pattern lined up horizontally. Wow. This is beyond me.

Don’t worry about it being perfect. It’s very forgiving

[@szelop]

You look so pretty! I love your quilt. You had great fabric to show off your soldiers, etc. Thanks!

[@neldamachovsky2439]

Love this quilt! I may finally get a bargello done in my life time. Your hints were great! The fabric designs seemed a little over the top, but when you added some solids and laid it out! I was quite impressed! Love it! TFS
