Quilting Made Easy: Designing a Bargello Quilt!

[@ksharpe8137]

You seem like such a sweet person. I would love to have a quilting neighbor like you. 😉 Thanks for the awesome tutorial. I’m planning a Bargello quilt from your instructions. 💞

[@panicwritten]

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for so I could make my own bargello! You explain everything so clearly.

Thanks so much for this video. This is by far the best I have seen for how to design your own bargello quilt. ❤❤❤

[@PurpleQuiltCo]

What kind words! Thank you for watching!

Erica, I just finished my Bargello quilt. I had asked you for advice on how to quilt it on my domestic machine. You suggested straight lines up and down. I thought about it but decided I wanted something that had more energy to it. I ended up tracing the pattern of a particular fabric from the top of the quilt to the bottom. Because the pattern formed a wavy line across the quilt, following that pattern from top to bottom of the quilt, produced an energy with that really looked pretty in the end. Thank you so much for responding to my request for help. I do not think any of the other YT posters would have been so forthcoming and quick with useful help. You are much appreciated.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I think that I was trying to describe what you actually did (maybe not well enough). I am glad that your quilting worked and that you are proud of your quilt. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel!

Awesome, easy explanation. Love the graph paper explanation. I have made some bargellos, but I have something in my head and can't find a pattern, so thanks to you, I think I can figure it out. Thank you!

[@PurpleQuiltCo]

I am so glad that my video helped you. I wish you all the luck as you create your own masterpiece. Thanks for watching!

Erica, OMG! You’re a Bargello angel! I’ve been searching for how to chart out my own Bargello for weeks and not sure how I finally found you, but boy oh boy am I glad I did! I knew this couldn’t be too difficult as I graph a lot of my own quilts but I wasn’t sure where to start. Thank you a million times. Your explanations are so clear and easy to follow.

[@PurpleQuiltCo]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope that you can design a pattern that you will love! Thanks for watching!

[@jeannettepacier350]

Thank you very much for your informative video! I really needed to hear about your process in order to do a section of my latest baby quilt in this style. Thank you, thank you, this is just what I needed!

[@PurpleQuiltCo]

I am so glad this video helped you. Thanks so much for watching!

[@Jabezgirl57]

Awesome, just what I wanted. You are very talented. TY

Thank you for watching! I am glad that this video helps you.

[@praterclp]

Great job. Didn’t realize the magnitude thought process that goes into a bargello quilt and then you have to pick fabrics. Thank you for sharing the process. I love that baby bargello quilt.

[@PurpleQuiltCo]

Thank you so much for watching! I like to think that I am a pretty easygoing quilter, but there are some things that have to be specific for me.

[@debbieunelli818]

Thanks for this! I’m designing myself. I have 27 different gradient colours of batiks.. x 2 of each.. onto the graph paper!

[@barbarajohnson6252]

I'm so glad you shared your technique! I love creating my own patterns but I don't have the experience to do so. I can now design a quilt for my niece. Thank you so much for sharing and explaining so clearly.

[@PurpleQuiltCo]

You can do it! I would suggest definitely taking your time with the design, and make something that you truly love. Your niece will love it as well. Thanks for watching!

[@barbtheobald1145]

You're a very good teacher! I love the way you explain things! I have the strips to make a bargello for my sister, I think that I'm ready to tackle the project...thanks to you :)

[@pegpeg3939]

Me too.. you explain really thoroughly. Thank you so much..

[@pegpeg3939]

You need to teach. You explain very clearly. Thank you

[@PurpleQuiltCo]

[@signiturelady]

Is the bargello quilt pattern beginner friendly? I am a garment maker. This would be my first quilt.

[@PurpleQuiltCo]

Thanks for your question. I think that in your case, a bargello could be your first quilt because you already have sewing experience. I would suggest looking a pictures of bargello quilt and deciding on a pattern that you like. I am not sure that I would start with the varying widths of the strip unit; perhaps using the same width would work better. I have also seen quilts that use a bargello style block. It may have five or six strips that you would move around, instead of the 13 or 14 shown here.
