Creating a Bargello Quilt from Start to Finish | Quilt Beginnings

[@maryann56258]

NEVER have a seen such a clear, complete yet concise video of the bargello. THANK YOU!! This is phenomenal!

[@TheWoz9899]

I have spent weeks trying to figure out how to do the Bargello quilt. Read the instructions over and over again. Could not make sense of it. All I needed was your video! Thank you so much!

[@christy032866]

My mom made the most beautiful bargellos that I've ever seen. She always wanted to teach me, but with her health and my dad's, she never got the chance😢. Thank you for your help! I had so many questions and all mom's books are still at her house. I'm going to make one in her honor and name it Linda. ❤❤

This is so informative. Thank you so much.

[@trac6009]

This is a fantastic pattern thank you!!! It opens up so many possibilities for making bargellos😍

[@amd5617]

Excellent demonstration of the construction of the bargello. This video has cleared all my questions for keeping things manageable from the ironing, cutting and the sewing of my 1st attempt at this pattern.

[@annablock8037]

Excellent tutorial. Loved every tip you used.

Lots of great tips!

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Hello and that is such a beautiful quilt! I had a busy but productive day in my sewing room and just got a chance to sit and watch your video. I hope you have a lovely week ahead. Thank you for sharing your video and your expertise.

[@tlennon53t]

Great demo - Thank you

[@LearningAllICan]

I prefer to have the top strip with the seam pointing up to the foot and the bottom strip with the seam pointing away from the foot. Basically the opposite of the way you've done it. This way, the bottom strip seams don't flip and the movement of the foot helps to push the top strip seams toward the bottom seam. This basically locks the nested seam more firmly in place. It helps me to get a much more accurate point/seam match. Hope this hint helps everyone.

[@frickmom]

Yes I agree. The foot pushing the top seam tpwards the bottom seam does help get them nested tightly together. I think I heard this from an experienced quilter years ago and it definitely works.

[@sunseekerrs3087]

I agree.

[@robinword1423]

That is so pretty, i feel inspired to make a quilt

[@evaandersson8408]

Thank you so much for sharing, now I am ready to start sewing one for myself.

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

Hi quilters! I just saw this video. Excellent explanation and I have just subscribed.

[@barbaraayres2617]

Great tutorial.

[@michelledriscoll9133]

When we are ripping seams on the strips do we start back over when we get to our number one stop on our second set?

[@lightowl4345]

great tutorial. thank you.

[@BirdBathBonanza]

Great tips, thanks !! 😻

[@debradriggers6012]

Absolutely fabulous! Could you please share what fabric line you used? Love love love it!!!!!

[@luziafelix7568]

De qualquer maneira muito obrgada

[@katmackphotography]

I want to make a lap sized. She state that one jelly roll will make an 84 inch long quilt. Did I misunderstand? did she mean that the 2 jelly roll will make 84? also I need to understand the width. I dont think I will do the A and B piles.. I see a Pinterest fail in my future !!! hahah I will have an iron handy and repress when I sew and nest. Im just a little confused as to the quantity of fabric i need for a lap sized.. any opinions?

[@koalasez1200]

Ohio!! ❤ My roots are there. :)

[@diane-vz8wd]

I'm good at piecing quilts. Mine is actually finishing which most people don't go over. I see that you did wavy lines for your actual quilting. I'm guessing it's probably machine quilted. I will be doing free motion quilting. Do I need to start in the center and work my way out to both ends?

[@janicesilverstein5294]

Thank you so much for the tips. I have started my bargello and hope to finish it before Christmas (LOL). what quilting design did you use to finish your quilt top? It looks like it enhances the curvy appearance of the bargello.

[@lindawalker2490]

When sewing your jelly roll strips together to make the base is it prudent to sew each seam in a different direction or is the same direction ok? Like bottom to top and then top to bottom?

[@rebeccamesser2850]

Her instructions have you sewing them all in one direction so you have an "even" selvage at one end.

[@ravakian2859]

I have a question, I’ve got my circle but when I fold it over to start cutting, it’s wonky, I don’t know why because I sewed each strip starting from the opposite direction, any suggestions?

[@Maria-ke6zr]

Can you please tell me the fabric collection that you used???? Love your video, thank you for sharing 😍🇦🇺

[@juliethyssen9061]

Anyone know the fabric collection used?

[@susankennedy9600]

Beautiful ! Can I ask you a question?

[@Dasburyfamily]

Wow, that’s gorgeous! You made it look so simple. I didn’t know there were numbered pins I could buy. Great tip!🌸💖🌸

[@cintiathomaz7770]

From brazil: happy because you. Thanks!

[@chrisjordan8731]

Who's jelly roll did you use and is it still available?

[@LindaMyers-j2n]

Do you have the jelly rolls for this bargello quilt available for?

[@LB-of3po]

question, my jellyroll only has 40 strips. Do I still go up to 3.5 inches?

[@LindaMyers-j2n]

Do you have the jelly rolls available for this bargello quilt

[@BettyIrvin-k9r]

How do you make it bigger? Like queen or king size ? I get how to make it longer but how about wider?

[@ksharpe8137]

If I use part of a third jelly roll it would make my quilt larger, right?

[@denisekrausnick2258]

How many total yards of fabric did you start with? OR how many yards of each fabric did you start with??????

[@CoolKaedanShorts]

I would like to see a list of the size of the strips ,thanks

[@luziafelix7568]

Maravilhoso seu trabalho pena quê não entendo nada que vc fala BRASIL

[@dianamenefee7768]

scary cutting the tubes in layers? wondering if my cuts would be more accurate if I cut single layer then sewed into a loop?

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

I did a bargello table runner in 2017 and cutting this way is not that bad. A brand new blade is recommended.

[@cindykilby5422]

What was the sizes of all the cuts.?

[@paulafernandes1930]

Por favor, com tradução p o português 🇧🇷 Obrigada. Paula🌸

[@kierstenridgway4634]

I keep hearing the length, but not the width. Am I just not too bright and should know this?

[@zoannamcadams6662]

Jelly rolls are 2 and 1/2 wide

[@sunseekerrs3087]

So it looks like you are using two jelly rolls that are sewn together in the exact same order. That makes sense.

[@Trish312]

You mention the finished length but what is the width.?

[@lparnell5693]

I was thinking the same thing

[@katmackphotography]

@@lparnell5693 me too.. I want to make a lap sized so I am thinking 1 jelly roll of 42 inches? When she says it will be 84 aches long , is that because she used 2 jelly rolls?

[@tammybaker4378]

I'm seeing no one else got there questions answered...so my kitchen table is full of strips and I have no idea how to follow your directions...guess I'll just scream!!

[@lucilleoneal3668]

I know how you feel, had to watch the video again with no interruptions. Good luck to you.

[@lisawaterman2737]

I'm not sure what your question is, but I would be happy to answer it.

[@BettyIrvin-k9r]

@@lisawaterman2737what are the dimensions of this quilt? She said it was 84” one direction, but what about the other direction?

[@patriciabeaton2582]

Anyone ever find out the measure of the quilt 84x what tks

[@tammybaker4378]

I could just just scream...first problem was that I had to take apart the "b" side...I didn't see it EXACTLY at a 1\4" in some spots and it would lay flat so I could cut the strips.spent all night taking it apart and then seeing it back together ...ok, that was my fault...but now I've come to where you excusing every other one from side "a" and side "b"..I've got 17 strips for both sides...but I have now noticed that , let's say #12 strip from the 1st set"A" is not the same size from #12 for the 2 nd set "B' if I change them , even tho they are supposed to nest together...the sizes are not the same. My kitchen table is full of strips and I'm at a stand still.....HELP please!!??

[@Calciyum88]

I've just watched this video and seen your question. I hope you have solved your problem in the meantime, but if you have put away the project and would like to pull it back out, here is what I think went wrong: She explained at 7:35 that you have to continue the numbers until no. 1 is the same size again as the first no. 1. Her set A finished at 17, so she continued to label the first three strips of set B as 18, 19, 20 and started with the 4th strip again with no. 1 because that was the one that was 1 inch again. If you continue the cutting pattern with the quarter inch increments on the set B, you also have to continue the labelling on set B until you reach the start again. Set A 1 = 1" Set A 2 = 1¼" Set A 3 = 1½" Set A 4 = 1¾" Set A 5 = 2" Set A 6 = 2¼" Set A 7 = 2½" Set A 8 = 2¾" Set A 9 = 3" Set A 10 = 3¼" Set A 11 = 3½" Set A 12 = 3¼" Set A 13 = 3" Set A 14 = 2¾" Set A 15 = 2½" Set A 16 = 2¼" Set A 17 = 2" Set B 18 = 1¾" (the first strip on set B from the left) Set B 19 = 1½" (the second strip on set B from the left) Set B 20 = 1¼" (the third strip on set B from the left) Set B 1 = 1" (the fourth strip on set B from the left) Set B 2 = 1¼" (the fifth strip and so forth) Set B 3 = 1½" Set B 4 = 1¾" Set B 5 = 2" Set B 6 = 2¼" Set B 7 = 2½" Set B 8 = 2¾" Set B 9 = 3" Set B 10 = 3¼" Set B 11 = 3½" Set B 12 = 3¼" Set B 13 = 3" Set B 14 = 2¾" Then you can swap the even numbers up to 14 between A and B to alternate the seams, and then I am also at my wits end because she doesn't explain how to manage the higher numbers. You could take number 16 and iron it into the direction of Set B, then 17 is set A anyway and 18 is set B anyway, you could iron 19 in direction of set A, but then you still end up with the problem that 20 and the next no. 1 are both from set B and therefore are both ironed in the same direction. Perhaps you could take out number 20, which will not make a big difference because it is just ¼ inch. You could either leave it out completely, or put it to the end behind the last 14. Then the order of the seams should be alternating again, but at the very end you have a jump from 2¾ to 1¼. However, in this busy pattern maybe that's not even noticeable.

[@Calciyum88]

Also I just noticed that at 8:42 when you pause the video, you can see that her stack after 20 continues with 5-8, not with 1-4. And you can see another 15 and another 16 there, which is not possible if she did what she said she was doing. I do not know how she did that and I agree that it is very ungracious of her neither to explain these problems and their solution in the video nor to reply to the comments. Maybe she used a third jelly roll in order to get to 20 again.

[@Aquahoma]

Confusing and uninformed.
