Bargello - Creating Colorful Curves
with Eldrid Royset Førde
Bargello quilts have long been a
favourite of mine, ever since they first caught my eye with their
dramatic sweeping curves, enticing me to conquer the mystery of
their construction. As it turned out, the mystery was quite simple,
and the quilts are also relatively quick to make as the design lends
itself very well to strip piecing.
In this class you will learn to sew bargello
style quilts using strip piecing technique. The main project will
teach you the basics of constructing the quilt top and have
suggestions for quilting. We will also discuss fabric/colour
choices.
A couple more projects will show
you a few of the many variations of the design, and you will get to try
various construction methods to see which ones you prefer.
It is preferable that you know beforehand
how to cut fabric using a rotary cutter and ruler, to sew with a
consistent seam allowance on your sewing machine, and generally how to
layer, baste and quilt.
Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of
machine quilting.
