Create a Stunning Bargello Effect with This Quilt
| September 7, 2016 | Autumn Quilts, Quilt Ideas
The Versatile Pattern Gives You Many Design Options!
Bring warmth to any room of your house with this beautiful throw quilt. The colors of bittersweet in autumn give it a cozy look any time of the year.
Brilliant reds and oranges are stunning in this quilt. You’ll love it made up in your favorite colors, too. Sharp contrasts create a striking overall design. Imagine how using fabrics closer in value will give it a colorwash effect. You’ll enjoy the many design options with this pattern.
One simple block is turned sideways in alternate rows to create the bargello effect. Strip piecing means it will sew together fairly quickly.
The pattern, by designer Catherine Purifoy, produces a 51 1/2″ x 55″ quilt. You can easily alter the size by adjusting the number of blocks.
