Good morning Cuties! I wanted to show you this because it is a quilt I have been wanting to make. I realize I seem to show a lot of quilts but this one seemed to come out so well, even I am surprised. -lol- You start with 20 colors and make strip sets, that you then subcut into various widths. When I asked our QOV leader if we had 20 different fabrics she said certainly and gladly provided them to me. Although, she did think I was crazy and told me so-lol-for attempting this. She said another quilter tried it years ago and it took her years to complete. Well I agree at times I might seem crazy🙄😉 but by sticking with it, I made it in less than a week. I did have to number and lay everything out as I cut so it didn’t get confusing. I also was uncertain of my placement of colors as I didn’t know which order was best. I will show the strip set that I made 4 of for this size of 57x73. I will also have to get a dark blue fabric, to add a 4 inch border all around, to bring it up to size we give.

I made this from a book by Eileen Wright, called More Twist and Turn Bargello Quilts. This particular pattern is Misty Morning. Although I understood the concept of Bargello’s and have made runners before, I really desired to make this in red, white and blue because it looks like it’s waving. I also think it would be gorgeous in blues like a waterfall. So many possibilities! By the way, I sent our leader a picture of this top and she exclaimed “Oh my word…how BEAUTIFUL!!!!” She also said how can I give someone something this beautiful after I’ve made it!? The veterans receiving it have given us something much more precious, so it’s easy for me and wish I could do more. I hope you feel my excitement at trying something new and still enjoy my quilt shows-lol Have a blessed day my Cuties❤️Toogie
