Make a Bargello Quilt with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star! (Video Tutorial)

[@wandacoleman2497]

Jenny, I would never be brave enough to rip those seams apart like that! If I were to rip my fabric I'd cry!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

That's okay! You can use your seam ripper! ;)

[@deannafischer1306]

omg I thought the same thing when she did that lol

[@lorettarice5747]

First, let me say how much I love watching your videos. How would I make this into a king size quilt? My 6’ 5” grandson has requested a “Northern Lights” type of quilt with black for his graduation gift. Bargello would be perfect for this. How many strip sets would it take?

Made a Bargello quilt years ago before 2-1/2 strips and color/fabric selection is a challenge. Jenny, thank you for this tutorial - I may just try my hand at a Bargello quilt again using your wonderful technique.

Gives a whole new meaning to seam ripping.... i cringed at the first one, then realized it might be a good stress reliver for tackling this project :)

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

It can be therapeutic! Try it on some scraps first! ;)

It reminded me of an aunt of mine that lived in New York and used to sew a lot. I went to visit her from Puerto Rico when I was 18 and she wanted to sew something for me. I already knew how to sew but I started to look at her. She tried a pair of pants and when she had to fix something she took the fabric and rip it really hard. The first thing that cross my mind was, this woman is not sewing for me again! hahahahahaha

Jenny, you’re the best. I had hopped you'd someday do a bargello but I thought you wouldn't because you teach in simple and all the tutorials I've watched on how to do this are elaborate and complicated. Your method of laying it out to eyeball and verify that you have the stairs sure beats numbering every little step I make. I purchased the Morning Melody pattern quit some time ago, 3 jelly rolls (Sparkling Waters Colorstory, Galaxy Pixie Strip, and Clear Skies, all from MSQC because I want to make this quilt so badly. And you came through for us ladies again. You took complex and simplified it so those of us who want to tackle above our skill (or confidence ) level can do it. You are a treasure Jenny. I'll even go so far as to say you are "Missouri's Star", and all the states love you. Thank You again.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Jenny will very much appreciate your feedback!

[@quilt848]

This will be your most popular quilt tutorial EVER..these look so complicated and you have simplified it immensely. ..great job!!!

[@Sharon-pb7so]

Kim Fillmore... I agree! I've been hoping Jenny would make a Bargello and now it's here! Can't wait to give this a go.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We're so glad you enjoyed it! Here's the chart that Jenny used in the video! www.missouriquiltco.com/land/tutorials/bargello-quilt/assets/bargello-template.pdf

[@ArmyNurse1776]

Jenny , my dear. I made a Bargello years ago, like you I made only one. If I had your direction I would have made more. It is fascinating to watch you take over those difficult quilts a simplified them. That is why I never get tired of your videos. Thank you. Hope to make the trip again to MSQC this fall.

[@perfectday777]

Thank you, Jenny, for doing this tutorial! I asked you if you would and I'm so happy that you did! Looking forward to trying this out! One of the things that I love about your tutorials is that you show how quilting doesn't have to be like 😨😠😢😭; it can actually be more like 🍭🌻🌞📯🎶 when it comes to the more complicated patterns. 💖👍

[@Marla.22]

LOL. You're funny Perfect. :)

[@brendaromanuck1280]

Oh Jenny, you will never know how simple you have made this bargello pattern look. I have bought many books over the years trying to get up my nerve to make one but was too nervous that I would goof up. After watching your tutorial I am going to jump in with both feet and give it a try. Thanks once again for demystifying the bargello for me.

[@michellegray6761]

You are the Bob Ross of quilting! Thank you for making quilting fun!

[@ladyd54]

I've always wanted to do one of these, but looking at it scared me away, thank you for finding an easier way to create this quilt.

[@nickibair999]

Jenny, I absolutely love to watch your videos. You sure can tell how much you love to quilt. It's been so long since I've quilted and or bought any fabric, but I love jelly rolls, cake layers etc.

[@paulette027]

My granddaughter would love this pattern in purples. Question. What is the name/brand of your pink iron? I'm not certain if I'm seeing correctly, but I dont notice that you back stitch at end of what your sewing? I'd like to avoid the extra step if it's possible. I enjoy every single video you do. Thank you for helping me improve my skills. P.S. I struggle with colors/shades as well!

[@conniesoares157]

Love watching you show how easy it is to put different patterns together!

[@michaelphyllislogel663]

The bargello is on my quilting "bucket list". I'm currently working on one that is a "no measure" bargello so once I finish it, I'll try this technique. I love the look of them! Thanks for a new technique to try.

[@sweetcake405]

WOW!!! this has been on my bucket list for years but every pattern I've found was so complicated, thank you soooooo much for making this easy. you're the best!

[@barbaraland8793]

OMG!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!! You make the most difficult looking quilts seem utterly doable! I can't wait to try this. FANTASTIC tutorial! Thank you!!

[@irisuhde7635]

Years ago our patchwork pressident wrote bargeldlos Books .I Never did one,because I had 3 little children .Now I like to do. one. The differente colorways are Wonderfull..I like the idea of how it Looks in a Äther colors .Thanks for the Tutorials from Germany!!!

[@ethnaglackin6418]

iris uhde I wider if this is going t jenny

[@ethnaglackin6418]

My words gotten mixed. Up somehow your blanket is exquisite I'm wondering why I can't order my fat quarters from USA

[@materialthings219]

Jenny, Just love this, we had a teacher come in and taught this class, and I just could not get it. When you did it, omg, it worked. Thank you so very much Love it Love it

[@herlindalabrecque4189]

This is keeper. Thanks Jenny. You have given me the push, I needed, to make one. It is so nice how you take the fear out of experimenting with different patterns. Kudos to you and your staff !!!

[@elizabethbrown2155]

Bar-jealous! Jenny is so funny, I love it.

[@lindadodwell8180]

Just about to make this and realised that if your contrast piece is white/very light, you need to attach it to the dark colours, so instead of running from dark to light down the quilt, it needs to run from light to dark! I guess this will make it look slightly different. The purple quilt displayed in the video would have shown this, but it was not held up so the difference could not be seen. Still a great tutorial.....can’t wait to see how it turns out!

[@MrsGraphiteGal]

great job Jenny. Love bargello, you never really know what you are going to get until the end. I made a purple batik one with patterned fabric but the design really stands out with the solids.

[@patmastel2056]

Jenny, you are the BEST! You are funny and talented, you make mistakes like the rest of us, and make the quilts look easy enough that even a newby like me can do it! Keep going, Girl!

[@cherylp.3347]

Wow I like it...never heard of it before but now I must try it! You are right, color selection can be the hardest part, jelly rolls make it easier.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Oh wow, bargello is another blast from the past going for me to the late 80s and early 90s. I remember how popular this pattern was back when I was young. Nice to see it again! The method you are showing is exactly what I remember, but doing this with jelly rolls is genius! Such a game changer! I remember how intimidating it was just to pick out all the different fabrics. Btw, I feel like you must be aware, so I apologize in advance, but just in case, they sell little cards made of see thru tinted material that helps people like us see the tone of the fabric so we can tell which is darker.

[@klandersoncpa]

I just finished my first Bargello. It was a fun project.

[@delisalusby3372]

I have always wanted to make a Bargello Quilt, Thanks Jenny, this method has taken away some of my concerns.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

I am so glad to hear that! I hope you try this pattern and love it as much as we do!

[@zenmama4991]

Oooo Oooo Oooo!!! I'm so jazzed you did this!!!! This has been a dream for a long time!!! Thank you y'all awesome folks!!!

[@Erin.Barker]

Ive been to scared to try a bargello. Maybe I will try now!

[@tracyhurst7512]

Me too! I thought you had to cut each individual square. Scared me to death.

[@charlottebarnes6761]

i have had lessons on this quilt but avoided making it because the instructions were hard to follow but your a miracle this is so much easier thank you

[@gailenejack4834]

Outstanding video Jenny! You are so much easier to learn from than a paper pattern! I've attempted the Bargello years ago, and it still sits in a bin unfinished. So glad, you've done a tutorial on this pattern! I'm going to give it another try!

[@hanaleobert1662]

Great👍👍👍👍

[@WWZenaDo]

I'm a total novice at quilting, but I've made barjello quilts. They're very forgiving of mistakes. They can be quite free-form & artistic.

[@janetmcadamsbailey1874]

you are correct......one of the easiest patterns out there, yet so much potential with color

[@rebeccatreeseed410]

Hahahahaha! I am new quilter and I made one of these! It was a piece of cake. I haven't quilted it yet, but tacked it on the wall anyway, I love it. I have learned a bit of quilting, and will quilt it soon, yay!

[@godsbibleword1045]

I did one in red black white gray it really got to your eyes I gave it away to one of my husband's gril she still loves it

[@diannewhite9848]

Jenny I really loved your enthusiasm which this tutorial. I made a 7 strip table runner, watching you do the quilt makes me want to make the quilt. Thank you!

[@susanvanvleck3957]

Oh this is going to my quilt bucket list!!

[@Jenny_bell_key]

"Barjealous"!!! Haha! I love your tutorials even though I have yet to take the plunge and make a quilt.

[@pamelamiller3215]

Love bargello quilts made my daughter one now have 2 to make for myself being trying to do them for 4 years lol but will get there loved making them

[@mmills5951]

I have read books and looked at other tutorials, but thanks to you, I now believe I can do this! You are too cute and very funny!

[@sarahwade1589]

I am in the process of making my bargello and it is easy so far, getting it laid out now, next sewing the strips in order by inches hope I get it right!

[@patriciaroush1686]

I've been wanting to try this quilt for sometime. It always intemidated me. You make it "sew" simple and easy to understand. Thank you for such another awesome tutorial.

[@kikiwalker7718]

STUNNING.. THANK YOU.. I've always wondered how they made this awesome stunning.. and gosh,, it so simple.. THank you Jenny for showing us (me too) on this stunning making quilt..

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Loved this tutorial. Made this for my sister celebrate her 60th birthday

[@claudia-fy6oe]

[@sheilawoofter5009]

WOW!! I always thought this was too hard for me to do. I've got the picture of a Christmas runner that is this pattern, and now I can try it. THANK YOU!!

[@deannafischer1306]

This makes so much sense to me now! I have a pattern and my fabric for one and its just been sitting there forever because I have been so confused. Thank you for making this video!

[@nicolamerrifield1166]

I made a Bargello recently at a workshop here in the uk, the tutor ripped start the seams too. I was quite shocked, but you get used to doing it!

[@kinnamondeb]

16:01 Thank you so much!! I can usually visualize something reading it through a few times but the tube just wasn’t jelling until I watched your tutorial! Eureka I get it now!

[@chainedstitch1530]

Yes! I've been waiting for a bargello tutorial! Love them!

[@sdm6141]

Thank you so much Jenny as I am your student and have always wanted to make a Bargallo

[@katelyndsews3732]

Bar-"jealous" lmao. I'm such a nerd, I cracked up on that one.

[@laurenw.4603]

Jenny, you are AWESOME. Love the way you simplify this pattern. Thanks!!

[@yvonneluke456]

There are quite a few patterns out there, I like Jenny's version!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thank you so much! Jenny will love your feedback!

[@janetmcadamsbailey1874]

yes, there are........but this one has Jenny teaching us......

[@wandalinthorne9095]

Thank you for making this scary quilt a little less so :) and for the chart too .. definitely gonna give it a whirl .. love all your tutorials .. God bless you

[@deefedor6433]

I have wanted to learn this so long.. Thank you Jenny for making it look sooooo easy.

[@denisemcintosh7568]

You explained that wonderfully I am gonna try this one!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

That's great, Denise! Let us know how it goes! :)

[@terrybridgham7824]

I have always wanted to try a Bargello quilt because I like the movement in them. I want to try your method with the lavender fields, but instead of white, I want to use a floral print for the contrasting fabric. I think it would be really nice.

[@evawojo1105]

Love this pattern Jenny thank you so much for showing us how to do this can't wait to do this and I love that you have the same problems I do on angles and colors it just makes me feel much better in trying to do what I do and what I love to do thank you

[@BellaJae]

Bar-Jealous too funny! Thank you for this tutorial

[@sewandcraftwithnuha]

I'm so grateful finding your tutorial. You make it so easy. I will definitely try this. Thank you, Miss Jenny ❤

[@GeminiPeg]

It's on my quilt bucket list. Thanks.

[@cynthiastark7258]

Thank you! I've been wanting to make one of these.

[@kimmaynard338]

that was truly amazing .... wow .. I feel like I could possibly do that quilt ... thank you.

[@christinesmith7838]

I have got to try this! Thanks, Jenny.

[@susanspratling]

Thank you Jenny you are so inspiring

[@barbarajefferysings]

Bar-jealous! That's a good one, Jennie!

[@sewcrazybaker]

I think Bargello is beautiful, but I never thought I could do it. I think I might try it now. I saw a huge Bargello quilt I loved in a quilt shop in Ohio's Amish country. It was at my favorite quilt shop there. They told me what the name of it was, but I said it looked like ribbon candy. They all agreed with me. I can't remember the Real name of it, but it was beautiful.

[@PhuongTran-ch6gs]

Very impressive . Thanks for your tutorial.

[@cindyfisher8911]

Fantastic you explained that great I will have to make this. You are great Jenny I love your tutorials

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thank you so much, Cindy!!

[@natalierobison3355]

Made it. Love it. Gonna do it again. Thank you!

[@amymcniel5165]

A thousand thumbs up!!!!!!!!

[@rhondaowens8803]

I struggle with shades as well. I like the idea of having the shades arranged for me. Love the end result. I would like to make one as a King size quilt. I'm curious how many rolls that would require and how to increase the length without having to add more shades. Suggestions.

[@carolbrahn4324]

I too would like to know. So many people today have queen/king beds and this size just won't work. Since we are a tall family my grandkids(who I would like to make this for) will need a larger size.

[@brendapatrick4623]

I just love learning new quilt patterns from you. You are awsome. I have this quilt in my line up of future quilts. THANK YOU JENNY

[@juliemorrison4348]

Beautiful bargello movement in these quilts . So pretty.👍🇦🇺

Jenny, you are so detailed. thank you so much for sharing. I am a new quilter so i had to view several times and listen carefully. this is on my list of projects

[@judithanderson9394]

Love this! Wish I could have seen what the actual quilt pattern you used for such a dramatic piece pattern. Thank you might actually try quilting after seeing this.

[@daisydebedoya474]

Gracias mi querida Jenny.

[@jeanniesmith3405]

Great video. I want to make a queen size quilt and bought two of the same jelly roll sets. I've never done a bargello quilt before but I like to try new patterns in between my favorite log cabin and triple irish chain go-tos. Also first jelly rolls I've ever bought.

[@shirley1091]

Jenny, my first thought on this was, oh! If she could do this she could do trip around the world. I have Ellen's "trip around the world". I haven't done it yet. I have a pic of an old quilt that is around the world. But it is more square and each trip around is a different color. You and you trip are so brilliant, I'm hoping you can do it.

[@heatherwhite4422]

Thank you for another great video! I sewed the red, green and white stripes for my first bargello quilt a couple months ago but I have not been sure about the cutting. Your video has helped a lot with a few others I have seen. I hope to work on mine in the next couple months. Thanks for the great directions! Your quilts are beautiful!

[@janiceabner5250]

great job Jenny, always wanted to learn how to do Bargello, and you make it easy, thanks

[@kimwilliamscarmer518]

I have always wanted to make the Bargello, but was afraid it was to complicated. Thank you for sharing your talent! I will be making one of these beautiful quilts now!! 😍

[@lifeofaimee6259]

oh wow, you made this look so easy Jenny! thank you x

[@ukulele1ify]

Thank you very much ! I can"t wait to try to sew it myself.

[@suehunt5896]

Jenny you make it seem so easy. I can't wait to try this. I've been so afraid to try it. You are to funny blowing your instructions on the floor you made me laugh it's like we're in the same room. Thanks so much. Sue

[@Yoyoland-b5e]

Thank you for making quilting doable for us beginners!!! Especially me, a busy mom who doesn't have time to take a class! 😘

[@patrice8257]

Elinor with quilt in a day did this year's ago it's called I think "around the world", she never did it with gradients this is very cool.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

I am so glad that you enjoyed our version! :)

[@shirley1091]

Patrice Ellen's trip around the world is similar, I have her book.

[@sahmnancy]

I made a King sized Trip around the World quilt for my daughter's wedding in a very similar way but all were 2.5" strips. It was super easy, but time consuming.

[@amandadehart6267]

I would love to know that layout of the other green one! I love the almost chevron feel it gives!! great job, you guys are my favorite!!

[@jimschempp3671]

Thank you Jenny You always light up my life with your tutorials. I just love them.

[@djlehn1967]

Thanks for all the great ideas!! I love the look of the piping and using the glue stick to secure the binding in place. Make it seem so easy! Oh and doing the corners is very slick as well. Thanks again!

[@vanessaflynn3940]

Can't wait to get started!

[@HuggiesCrafts]

Love it, Thank you Jenny, you never fail to impress me.

[@cherie316]

Those are so pretty.

[@marilynjackson6824]

Thank you Jenny, now, I think I can do this! I have always been intimidated by this quit project. You make it look so much easier than I thought it would be. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍

[@kimsiehl9058]

You've given me the confidence to try a bargello! Thank you!

[@barbarastefani254]

Also thank you very much for this video you give me the confidence

[@lilolmecj]

I have been collecting fabrics for a Bargello, I just need a couple more then I can start!
