Bargello Beauty Bargello Beauty
By: nhsarab, New Hampshire, USA

Made this quilt in a class and I thought I would not finish it. There were so many steps to making it that I got frustrated. But, I kept on working on it because it was looking beautiful and I knew it would be worth it. I’m really glad I finished it. I love it!

Bargello headboard Bargello headboard
By: Rona Keith, New Zealand

I was trying out a technique I saw on ‘Simply Quilts’, a quilt-as-you-go method of making bargello quilts. It turned out to be the perfect size for a king single headboard. I added the brown border (with ties) and stretched it over 80mm thick foam and put a curtain rod on the wall. Very comfy!

Bargello Trip Around the World Bargello Trip Around the World
By: Quiltsbybarb, Wisconsin, USA

This was a pattern I found on the internet. There were a number of mistakes in the pattern that had to be corrected to get it all to come together. All fabrics are hand dyed by me except the black used for an accent. I added the pieced border to give the quilt a little more interest.

Blue BargelloBowl Blue BargelloBowl
By: Nancy Badertscher, Georgia, USA

I made this quilt with the Bonnie Hunter Quiltville group during Super Bowl weekend ’08. Bonnie’s pattern calls for it to be more scrappy, but this was about the best I could do to be scrappy at that time! I used a long-arm for the quilting – one of my first attempts at that.

Blue Danube Blue Danube
By: Eli, Arizona, USA

This was my first attempt at a bargello quilt, and it sat a long time in my box as a UFO. I finally finished it in 2007 and it winged off to it’s new home!

I loved how the blues & whites looked like wave peaks on water, so that is how it got its name: Blue Danube. (That and I’m a musician too)

I made this quilt for Dennis, a good friend of my husband. He is a big man and wanted a big quilt. The shock of seeing the quilt nearly made him pass out. Not quite what I expected, but I’m sure glad he liked it.

A friend and I challenged each other to make this quilt. I found men love bargello style quilts as it was their favorite quilt at our quilt show. I love the colors and fabrics used in the quilt. It’s an amazingly easy process with such dramitic results.

This was quite possibly the most difficult quilt I’ve ever pieced! I love bargello quilts!! You make the tubes of strip sets and cut them on the bias so all the pieces are super stretchy! But I’m very happy with the finished product!

By: Pamela Boatright, Oregon, USA

I made this using 10 fat quarters from the Glacier Lights line of fabric. I know I wanted to make a Bargello style quilt representing the Aurora Borealis. This is what I came up with – it’s not the traditional form of Bargello, but is definitely using the technique!

    I’m having problems voting – both directly through your website and through Facebook. Is it possible that you require one brand of internet browser to be used? I don’t use Explorer, but have several others.

    I’ve got my text size at medium & still have no view of any quilts below Winter Wonderland. No wonder the last several have no votes!

    Hi Kathy,

    Winter Wonderland *is* the last quilt to view, so you’re seeing all of them. The voting results are sorted by most votes, once you’ve placed your vote. Prior to voting, they are sorted alphabetically, in the same order as the quilts shown above the poll.

    Cheers,
