Grammie Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Well I finally get to do a Bargello quilt. 90 x 108. I have a few ideas of my own but would love some inspirational ideas from you gals. I can do as easy or hard as I want. She gave me some freedom but I think I want to challenge myself alittle. Nothing Boring. Not sure I will use compuquilter or not. I'm drafting some idea today. This is trade job. I was impressed with her piecing so she is making me one the same size for the Studio Bedrooms. She will be helping to get 15 quilt tops done over time. Some of the tops are being pieced to demostrate my Computerized designs. Funny but we are designing the tops to suit the designs instead of the other way around. lolol I love this top. I know this lady will show this quilt to everyone she knows so I want it to be a good one. Working on getting some business in Colorado.

Neher-in-law5 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 that is so pretty that I would want the quilting to continue to bring the design out. Maybe feathers or swirlies in the white, another variety of the same idea in the gold. A special focus design in the center gold. this is so rich and pretty it just draws you in.

IBQLTN2 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 BEAUTIFUL!! Wow, it is gorgeous, I think of the center as the cross of Jesus with the light coming from within. Very inspirational. I know whatever you come up with will only make it so much more spectacular!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsbishwit Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 When I look at this I think of a celestrial theme...swirls of sorts with some sort of cosmic dust, lol try to figure out how to stitch that suggestion out :cool: Anyways I think what ever ends up on this one, it will bring you lots of new CO customers.

Farmwife Darlene Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Love the quilt and I know that you will bring out the best in the design! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I immediately thought feathers in the white and some really cool feathered design in the center...then I'm out. That quilt is gorgeous!! And what a great idea to piece tops to show off your quilting. Great idea for showing people what you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smockingRN Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 That is SO Beautiful! I love the design and esp the colors. Is there a pattern available? I like the CL Swirls for Bargellos, Thanks for sharing, Karen in La. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I would do something echoing out from the center. Not sure what. Maybe } coming out and growing larger. It sure is beautiful. I would not do a panto or edge to edge on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grammie Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Nadia that is just lovely. Those colors are WOW! I will share your pic if you don't mind if I need to show her some options. But like I said earlier she gave me a free pass on this one. lol I have looked at webshots and saw a few I like but not a quilting choice for me. Of all the tops I have done I haven't had a bargello. I hope I enjoy the process. lol I cannot help but see feathers too. But NOT big ones. I really don't like quilting big ones. I can see something kinda like the flurry but I do mine smaller and they go in all directions. All of your ideas are great. Keep them coming. I cannot wait to load this top and get started but I never load until I know what I'm doing. lol I just keep quilting something else until it hits me then I don't sleep. lolol Hugs Grammie Tammie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 wow what a beautiful top. Reminds me of glory. I really like Nadia's picture, great quilt Nadia, but I like the idea of feathers too. I would not have a clue what to do with a quilt like this other than drool and I don't think that would really look good. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenna Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Tammie, your freehand designs are great, can you come up with a few different ones that kinda go together and use a different one in each section of color? ;ust follow the flow of the patter to imphasize that but soften it at the same time. - know you've go some of those digtized so you could use your CQ.
