I bought this Beautiful Bargello book awhile back and have been anxious to start the Mirage quilt featured inside. I have made a couple of other bargellos, but never one that seemed to twist and turn. I am using some gorgeous batiks...even the trimmings are beautiful!
Cut off the selvages too...amazing all the selvages I wasted for all those years.
The strips are 1 1/2" wide. I used all fat quarters, so hope it works out the same as it would if I used WOF. I think it should. The quilt isn't very big when finished...about 47" sq.
Here is the first set of strips finished. You make 6 sets of strips, all different colors.

I love your fabrics and that pattern looks wonderful (but looks DIFFICULT, too....LOL)
I have made a lot of bargello quilts but never a planned design. I'll be watching to see how you like doing this.
Love your choice of colors. Can't wait to see the finished quilt. I made one small bargello quilt but it didn't twist like this one.
My aunt is working on a 'Bargello' quilt too, but she has put her's together in a zig-zag pattern. It is very nice.... but that picture at the top with the disected square is AMAZING!!!!
Beautiful quilt. I have a Bargello on my to do list..some day.
Your fabric choice is wonerful....I really love the navy with the light blue in it...
