This is the COOLEST Quilt Ever!!

[@seweasybysandy]

Guys... I had such a blast making this vide! So much fun!!! Ever heard of a Bargello Quilt? Ever tried making one? Now's your chance! Enjoy!

[@dharrison00]

It doesn’t stretch if you tear on the straight.

[@beverlyreynolds5686]

That's all we ever did in the old days

[@janbfred]

@@seweasybysandy I made a king sized bargello as my first quilt. It was so much fun!

[@seweasybysandy]

@@janbfred sounds awesome! Bargello quilts only get better as they grow!

[@debbierice4208]

Unlikely to stretch or not be straight if 100% cotton unless so thin not likely to be good for quilting. If it ever does, tug on the bias and it should pop back.

[@Suebear6157]

I used to do this with embroidery. But you've blown my mind! I can do this! You're making it possible for me to create beautiful quilts! The way you break things down and explain, I understand! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[@seweasybysandy]

Thank you, you're awesome. You can definitely do it!!

[@LindseyLouCats]

BARGRLLO!!! my mom and I did three back to back to back. they got better each time through! I cannnot sew a straight line, and the numbers and things were harder for her. So, she did the sewing, and I did the organization on the strips. They turned out GORGEOUS!

[@seweasybysandy]

That sounds so much fun! Quilting with someone else must be so special 🥰

[@kathytaylor9798]

I just had someone in my quilt group show me a picture of a quilt made with this technique. She said she would never be able to do anything this difficult, and I told her there’s a trick. Now with your video, we will plan on doing a project.

[@seweasybysandy]

That's so awesome! I love that! I did a Surf Song for my Patreon and I will be making another design this year on here, can't wait to go back to it, it's so much fun!

[@TheAashiaana]

I made a trip around the world for my third ever quilt..steps are similiar .and absolutely love the way you are drawing us in. Am smiling as I am watching you

[@seweasybysandy]

Thank you so much 😊

[@AnitaSouthall]

Kudos to those who are happy to do it. But I would always now cut not rip fabric by my choice, it can give a smooth finish and will lie flatter for joining blocks together.

[@seweasybysandy]

For me, it really depends on the days, I can see pros and cons for both.

[@BernadetteAitken]

I was told never to tear fabric for patchwork as it stretches it and makes it hard to match precisely....

[@seweasybysandy]

I love ripping fabric if I think the project can take it, it's freeing and fun. But not all projects allow it for that exact reason.

[@HeartWorX.Creations]

Wow, indeed, I’ve never seen anyone ripping “quilting fabric” & would never even think of it….The only fabric I will rip is RAGS!!!

[@constancedavis4738]

Ripping the fabric makes it straight on the grain. Before I start to cut I tear a straight edge. Starch press then start cutting

[@karenavey2183]

LOVE ripping fabric!

[@JoyfulStitching]

Prints are not printed to straight grain. For garment sewing i like to pull a thread to find straight grain, never rip. Then the garnet can be hang correctly when worn etc. Quilting is a whole other thing. It can badly distort and even pull weft threads, distorting the printed image. To be a quilter that eventually takes on more complicated patterns, maybe explore not using tearing as a technique. Your colors you chose are lovely.

[@melissafields2459]

Did a couple of bagello quikts but didnt shift them a whole block at a time. Only shifted a half a block side to side so the shift appeared more fluid. Also, yhe more narrow the strips, the sharper the curve appears to be, coming to sharp peqks and valleys, while the wide strips make gentle sweeping curves. Love these!

[@denisegomez755]

I’ve been wanting to make a Bargello quilt for a long time…. I think I bought a Christmas quilt kit and pattern about 5 yrs ago that is made with this same process. This month would be a good time to started on a Christmas quilt…Thank you for the encouragement.❤

[@seweasybysandy]

I agree! July is when I start planning my Christmas projects, I want to take my time with them and get them started when I'm on vacation. Sounds like an awesome plan!

[@lizreynolds4554]

Sandy, that is super Cool! I want to try THIS. I'm so very happy. It made me smile. You always make me smile!! Thank you for your positive attitude. Thank you for sharing this with us. Huggles Always 💖🎉😊🧵🪡✂️🦓🍀🌹🙏🤟💖

Hi! Thank you 😊 that made my day! Have a great weekend

[@TarahMatson-zz2hj]

I have never attempted a Bargello quilt before, but I have done Bargello needlepoint and loved it! Thank you for once again inspiring me to try something new. ❤️

[@seweasybysandy]

Oh, that must be beautiful ❤️

[@marianneparkinson3873]

Yes I have made a bargello quilt using variegated batik’s and came out awesome also

[@seweasybysandy]

Sounds lovely 😍

[@nikkireynolds9514]

I’ve been out of touch for awhile, and it looks like you’ve got a new sewing room in the time I was away. How cool for you! Love the green wall behind you.

[@seweasybysandy]

Hi! Thank you! Just changed perspectives in the room, turned the desk 180o and painted the corner but I'm so happy with it 😀

[@sewterie]

Just found you by accident and I love this video. I have made a small bargello in the past. It is great for jelly rolls. I will keep watching. Have a wonderful day.

[@seweasybysandy]

Welcome! So glad you've joined us! A wonderful day for you as well!

[@patmarioni9268]

That looks like a trip around the world quilt. 🙂

[@seweasybysandy]

Not yet, I'm getting to one of those really soon 😃 because I changed the sizes of the pieces, this is more round shaped

[@chrisb5391]

There are so many ways to make a quilt. We will never always agree on someone's process. Another question is, to pre wash or not. I never prewash. Many years ago, we made quilts with what we had. I think sometimes we've become terrible quilt snobs. Do what works best for you.

[@seweasybysandy]

I agree, as with anything creative, our quilting choices are subjective! I don't prewash either. Have a great day!

[@marionbarber984]

Oh, pretty quilt and fabric!

[@DesigingJ]

Just found you. I love this quilt. Very easy way to make a bargello quilt. Thank you.

[@seweasybysandy]

Welcome, I'm so happy you've found us 😁

[@caricooper4135]

in the beginning, it was ripped, but then it was cut to specified measurements. thag being said, the outcome is 👌🏻 and looked so cool!

[@giovannacasadio9600]

Wow, that is so easy to make , I never thought that it could be so easy, thanks, Sandy, you are the best.❤ I wish you a fantastic week 😊

[@seweasybysandy]

It is! Thank you, you too 🥰

[@KristinaHoneyHavenFarm]

I was trying to figure out how this was different from the quilt I had made before, which looked pretty much like yours did up until 5:20. So I guess the difference is just that despite a similar pattern, my blocks were all the same size. Interesting!

[@seweasybysandy]

So that would be more like a trip around the world quilt?

[@cindyhughes5069]

I've made afew bargello quilts. So easy and beautiful..Yours reminds me of trip around the world I make, but my trip around is made with 2.5 strips.. As always your beautiful bubbly spirit is so refreshing 😂

[@seweasybysandy]

Hi, thank you. A trip around the world is in the cards 😁, it's been made and it's the most gorgeous thing I've ever done 😁

[@bethroundell8424]

I have so many squares cut now. Wow!

[@yukonswimmom]

I like your energy and enthusiasm. I am new to quilting and got a bit lost when you changed the pattern. Could you do one where you finish the original pattern? Thanks!

[@seweasybysandy]

Hi. Thanks. Yes, I will be making many bargellos in the future, I'm hooked! We're also doing a simpler pattern over at patreon, from top to finish, if you'd like to check that out. Have a great day!

[@diane19456]

Hi please show what the finished quilt before all the cutting and piecing instructions. I am lost if I don't know what the finished quilt top is supposed to look like! Thanks

[@seweasybysandy]

Hi. I'm sorry at the time I didn't think of it, but I will be making a Christmas bargello where I will be showing the complete version, so stay tuned hehehe. Happy quilting! 😁

[@marionbarber984]

Eleanor Burns tears fabric. It can be therapeutic.

[@villagesteader3552]

The essence of quilting is to take perfectly good fabric, cut it into small pieces and sew it back together. 😂 That’s how I explain it to non quilting people.♥️👍

Bargello is such a striking pattern, but it intimidates me so

[@seweasybysandy]

Not any more I hope 😉

[@pattimize5742]

I just cringed when you tore the fabric. Lol to be I would rather cut it. It doesn't stretch it that way. But to each his own! Lol loved how it looked.

[@seweasybysandy]

I know, it's a very heated debate, that one... I love how good and liberating it feels to rip fabric but I am also fully aware of the "consequences" of doing it, so I do both, depending on the project and the fabric 😄 I love getting your input , thank you 😊

[@lisawaterman2737]

You have given me the kick in the butt I need to attempt my bargello using a fabric panel incorporated into it. Wanna try it with me?

[@seweasybysandy]

Fabric panel incorporated, how to you mean? Like a stitch and flip project?

[@lisawaterman2737]

Incorporating it into the strip tube so sections of the panel will move like the other 2.5" strips, but on the middle so it will never flip from top to bottom of quilt.

[@seweasybysandy]

@@lisawaterman2737 oohhh, I'm intrigued...

[@AntoniaMartorella]

Wow that's so cool. Thank you I will try making one but I got so many projects to work on. Lol. My fabrics are piling up. One thing I'm afraid to tear the fabrics.

[@seweasybysandy]

Ahh, yes, the WIPs... Try tearing fabric, it's quite liberating and fun ☺️

[@LaurencePintena]

Quel beau travail, je vous demande combien de bandes pour le réaliser ?

[@seweasybysandy]

Merci! You can use as many strips as you like, but less than 20 won't show the whole beautiful effect.

[@nadya8641]

Loved the bargello demo but damn, what is the Tetris quilt in the background, it's so awesome and I want to make one!!

[@seweasybysandy]

Thank you. Here's how I did that one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZiwYaqKrchgaaM enjoy!

[@colnlincline3097]

I always tear the long strips or pieces when preparing fabric for sewing.

It looks like Trip Around the World.

[@seweasybysandy]

It's very similar, the difference being each strip is cut in different widths to give it a 3D look you don't see on a trip around the world, but the process is pretty much the same, other than that

Why are you tearing? That’s primarily for heirloom sewing, in my experience. Just asking for a friend.

[@trevarnewighton2954]

OMG why are you ripping the material?

[@elbum89]

To get a straight line. When she snips the end she’s creating a mark so when she tears the cotton, it tears down the grain making it straighter than cutting that length of material. There’s a few types of materials that this can be done with, however I don’t remember all of them

[@donnarowe6027]

@@elbum89it still distorts the fabric.

[@marlenejones6266]

​@donnarowe6027 well her project turned out fantastic so I see no distortion

[@kevinanddeb8829]

​@@donnarowe6027they used to do this in the fabric store when we bought fabric. As fabric decreased in quality it became an issue. Good fabric will tear straight.

[@boxgirl51]

Why in the world are you tearing the fabric?

[@pamistyle]

love the pattern - but not ironing and sewing over needle or tearing the fabric is a total nogo for me. try ironing it´ll make a huge difference! And try to put the needles from the other side in - makes it easy to get them out while sewing. i recognized, that you are pulling on the fabric while running it through - is there something wrong with the transporter? That should not be needed with just that two layers of fabric.
