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.
