Making a Bargello Quilt with Patti Carey

[@nancyrouse2373]

Patti gives such clear instructions, she is easy to follow, & has a very pleasing voice. She is an excellent instructor.

[@shirleykelly8044]

Thank you Patti. I bought books and still couldn't understand how to make a bargello quilt until I watched this video. You made it so simple.

[@stellashandmade]

This is the best tutorial for Bargello quilting I've ever seen. Thank you so much.

[@copperbuttons7376]

Thank you, Patti. I really enjoyed this video and I especially enjoyed your voice and teaching style. I learned so much and I look forward to make this quilt starting in the new year. I hope you make more tutorials because you are a born teacher.

[@PattisPatchwork]

Thank you :) I'll be posting more tutorials on my Patti's Patchwork KZbin channel

[@carolehardt3432]

Oh my goodness, thank you, thank you Patti!! The bargello scared me and I couldn't wrap my brain around the directions, this video for your instrucions was a great help. THANK YOU AGAIN!!

[@jayneterry8701]

Pretty fabrics and I like your vest too. I have a love hate with Bargello but recently having seen Tuckers Quilting do one I'm leaning towards the love lol. Ty Patti for the variation instructions.

[@kluggs99]

Such a great teacher!!! I was always confused with this process, but you make it so much easier to understand!

[@hollynoscar3534]

gorgeous... you've inspired me to give this a try. great tutorial. thank you!

[@1949chefjojo]

I love your Serenity/Ocean design

[@TheMyssT]

This is an awesome video! I'll probably watch it 100 times!

[@elizabethnorberg7072]

really enjoyed the bargello video Patti. you made it look so quick and easy. This may finaly get me to mage a bargello quilt.

[@barbaraayres2617]

I love the fabrics!

[@AnitaLife27]

Thanks! I see organization is the key to this technique. I made a Trip around The World quilt, and got myself all balled up. I like the careful marking. Thanks again.

[@OnwardRose]

thank you love it ..I will have to find these colors they are beautiful ..you are an awesome instructor ..

[@brendapatrick8964]

Would you be able to share the cutting requirements

[@Carynjoybeader]

Thank you so much for this video tutorial. I must make one of these. Looks like a lot of fun. I printed out the instructions.. Thanks again !

[@LindaKordich]

you are such a good teacher! thank you.

[@MsTiLaJ]

Very nice tutorial. I love the pattern!

[@patriciamoffitt1336]

Thanks for the link. I have downloaded the pattern. NOW, I guess I need to make one!!

[@vanessacoombs91]

I have never tried a Bargello Quilt, but having watched this video I may well have a go.

[@connietorkelsen9655]

I’m making your serenity bargello quilt for a second time. The first time I followed all your great directions and ended with a beautiful lap quilt. We’ll now I want to make it again but big enough to be the top of a queen sized bed. How do I enlarge this quilt?

[@CarlaFinley]

I would love to have the pattern for the bright quilt on the left. Beautiful.

[@ellenwatson2385]

I was watching this video have decided to make this quilt top to eventually making it into pillow shams. Can I make this using only 9 fabrics?? and if so how to I calculate the width of each fabric strip?

[@kathleenbatten1443]

Needed Patti to continue a bit further. It was however good!

[@lauramartinez2606]

please the second strip is not clear how many inches short says 13 and I see less.

[@susane4229]

Did anyone figure out how you add 2nd tube? Do you just keep cutting strips and following the pattern until you get through both tubes? 1-32 and keep going with another 1-32?

[@lynnewhite8381]

I’m working on an old bargello called Hyde Park and I’m having trouble trying to form a tube because the picture in the instructions is confusing.

[@nicolelienhart6015]

I went to the northcott website to download the pattern, and it doesn't load, says website not available... any other way I can get it... I have been dying to try a bargello, and after watching this video 8 times, I am ready to jump in... Patti, you make it look like a walk in the park - great teacher , beautiful quilt .. thank you

[@nicolelienhart6015]

Thx sew much for getting back to me. I appreciate it....

[@susane4229]

I watched the video and read the pattern and updated version. My confusion is what to do with the second strip tube which is mentioned at the end of instruction 6. 6. Fold strip set in half, right sides facing, aligning the long edges, and making sure that the strip set is now skewed. Sew this final seam to turn the strip set into a tube. Press seam toward strip #12. Turn the tube right side out. Repeat with the other strip set. 7. Lay one tube along a horizontal line on your cutting mat. Starting at the trimmed end, cut the tube into rings of various widths, following the table below, cutting Rings #1 through 32, and labeling each ring as you cut it. The first strip tube isn't enough to make the 32 varying width cuts. Do I start with the 2nd strip tube and continue cutting another 32 - or however many cuts it will allow?

Great Video!!

[@patriciamoffitt1336]

I went to the website, but did not find the pattern. I looked under patterns, archived patterns, and under the Serenity collection. Where might it be?

[@joycethompson3889]

I still have no idea what to do with the 2nd tube????? Anyone? Also, i was 4 strips short cutting the first tube??

[@ofeliacatbagan6901]

I am using 20 fabrics instead. Do I have to change the measurement in cutting the strips of the tube? Thank you. Ofelia Catbagan

[@grandmadever]

I just love this quilt but I am having a hard time with the instructions The text is too small for my aging eyesight. I am wondering if there is a way of enlarging the type. Thanks for this wonderful quilt.

[@joejohnhommes]

I am making the Cosmic Wave and I am sewing my strip sets in series of 12. My sratum. They are more than 21" for my background piece.i am confused

[@mukwah1111]

I absolutely adore this pattern. I wish the video lasted longer to complete the top of the quilt.

[@snausages22]

Hiya Patti...I have been searching and searching for your Long and Winding Road Bargello pattern but can't find it anywhere. Can you please tell me where I can purchase it?

[@conniefletcher7909]

Downloaded video for free pattern but cannot find it to print.

[@mukwah1111]

Please help. I am in Ontario Canada - am at your Northcott website but it doesnt seem to be working. The location drop down list doesnt work and I am even unable to search fabric patterns. Can you please help. Many thanks

[@gingerjihnson8915]

how did you press your tube before you were ready cut them Gin

[@edhunley]

I just downloaded the pattern but I would like to make it into a queen size. This may sound stupid to very experienced people, but would I just need to cut the original strips longer and make more of them?

[@ankimo1957]

I have made a Bargello before. You cut from selvage to selvage. Most fabric is only 44" wide. Have you thought of putting a larger border on it? Of course, you could sew strips together until you had double the length, but with all those strips, you don't really want too many extra seams in the way. Hope this helps.

[@Saucyakld]

+edhunley I sew the smaller strips first and then I make sure the next open bit is what is the next in sequence and keep going, made a queen size quilt that way and looks amazing!

[@rico2408]

I can't find the website for the pattern. Can you email it to me at [e-mail] Thank you.

[@enidlibster6222]

How do you press the final quilt. Do you press all the columns in one direction, alternate directions, or press towards the center or outside.

[@mjclark794]

In the video, she says that she presses the seams toward the even numbered strips. That would mean that every other seam is pressed the opposite direction.

[@JunkJournalsToHoldYourMemories]

What length of fabric do you use to cut the strips? I mean...do you take 1 yard of each of the fabrics and cut strips out of that yard.. if you need more you take another 1 yard of each fabric?

[@patticarey1801]

The strips are cut crosswise or width-of-fabric, so they will be approximately 42" long (the width of your fabric). Bargello quilts tend to use smaller amounts of many different fabrics - the Serenity Bargello uses only 1/3yd of 12 different fabrics. If you use fewer fabrics, you will require more of each.

[@JunkJournalsToHoldYourMemories]

So basically, take 1/2 yard of 42" wide fabric for each color?

[@patticarey1801]

What size quilt are you planning on making, and how many fabrics are you planning on using?

[@JunkJournalsToHoldYourMemories]

I have 10 fabrics and making a queen size quilt

[@patticarey1801]

You will need 8-10 2 1/2" strips of each fabric, so 3/4yd or so of each fabric for the bargello portion of the quilt.

[@doyoder2776]

I printed the directions and have watched the video over and over. I'm confused. First, the dimensions given (if added up) are more than any normal 40 or 42" width of fabric?, and directions are not clear as what to do with the second set. Feeling frustrated because it is a lovely quilt and I have some lovely Northcott fabrics ready to cut.

[@patticarey1801]

Hi D, You will use the first tube, made with 2 of the strip sets, to cut as many of the 32 rings as possible. Then use the 2nd tube, made with the remaining 2 strip sets and identical to the first tube, to cut the balance of the rings. You will have a chunk of the 2nd tube leftover.

[@debragoldbeck383]

I cannot find the free download for the Serenity Bargello quilt

[@rico2408]

I can't find it either. She said serenity bargello but it won't come up.

Debra Goldbeck may I have the free download for this pattern, please?

[@denisemcintosh7568]

Debra Goldbeck if u look toward the beginning comments they relinked it and i tried it and it was there.

[@sewinlove_co]

Why do you press with a tool instead of an iron?

[@PattisPatchwork]

to prevent distortion

[@gingerjihnson8915]

I watched this video a couple of times and each time I find out more as I am just about done making one so far has costs me 300 dollars. Still have to sew on borders and then put in batting and then the third nfabric , the backing. and I learned more from you than myinstructor ,as what really happens is once you spend your money to them they are irratated if you ask for help or questions . It will cost me almost 400 dollars in the end.

[@socre8tive]

What size quilt are you making? King? Queen? That's quite the investment!

[@joejohnhommes]

What is a sratum?

[@patticarey1801]

Good question! A stratum is a set of strips sewn together. In this pattern, it is strips 1-12. Multiple "stratums" are called strata.

[@gingerjohnson5762]

thank you

[@josefasabino8140]

Que coisa linda

[@Sasslette]

You make 4 sets of 12 strips, Then making a set of 12 strips sewn together. Then sew 2 (sets of 12) strips together to make one tube and then you cut the strips as measured.... What happened to the 2nd set of strips? Is there a video 2?

[@lyndi1972]

Did you get a reply to this question Sasslette??

[@Sasslette]

No, but I worked it out and it turned out beautiful!

[@lyndi1972]

Sasslette Thx Sasslette, just annoys me when they only half do a pattern, especially for newbies who don't know all the rules and tricks :P

[@lindadaley7469]

Why wouldn't you just do the pressing the easy way with an iron?

[@patticarey1801]

Hi Linda. I find that if I just press with an iron that my strip sets tend to have wavy seams. If I "finger-press" them first with a wooden iron, Clover Hera Marker (my favorite tool) or point presser, I can achieve a straighter seam and straighter strip set. I find that I only need to press with an iron once all 12 of my strips are added, and I can simply press along the seam instead of pressing against the seam because the seams are already flat. I hope to post a short pressing video on Northcott's KZbin channel shortly.

[@lyndi1972]

Well as a newbie to bargello, this tutorial didn't tell you how to put the quilt together properly and neither did the downloaded pattern....how do you join the sections together???? not very happy at all with the tutorial!!!!!!!

[@gingerjihnson8915]

it is a King. The top fabric cost me 152.00 then the borders were 44.00 then the backing and the batting all costs that much more. it really is pretty but way to much money 12.95 a yard. Didn't think that was to bad at frist. I bought a kit for the front. ginger Jonson

[@gingerjihnson8915]

[@annheil981]

Really wish you would’ve shown us what to do with the second tube and how it looked when it was put all together. Very disappointed in the video
