Create stunning quilts with flowing curves with this 8-project guide by a designer who offers a fresh take on bargello quilting techniques.

Here's Bargello like you've never seen it before: stunning quilts full of free-form twists, turns, and 3-D effects that look like pop-art paintings. The biggest surprise is how simple these quilts are to make! Designer Ruth Ann Berry shows you how to use easy, straight-line strip piecing to create the illusion of curves in motion.

This volume includes step-by-step instructions for 8 projects plus directions on how to create your own designs. Perfect for daily use quilts or wallhangings, Bargello piecing also provides a new way to slice up your stash―making novelty fabrics and even ugly fabrics look good.

Editorial Reviews

Review

I love when older techniques are revived and refreshed, and that is the case with the Bargello quilt. I remember making my first one and marveling at how much easier it was than it looked. That quilt hangs in my cousin's home today. Ruth Ann Berry looked at ways that she could separate the moving parts in the design from the static background. She came up with four different solutions to do this: what she calls a scribble on a solid background; a scribble on a background of busy prints; the scribble and background made from different, contrasting color runs; and a solid-color splash across a series of plaids or a background of stripes. I never would have thought of plaids years past. I loved the energy that the quilts reflect. In addition to the eight patterns she includes, Ruth Ann also teaches you how to draft your own original design on graph paper. (The Professional Quilter Magazine, 3/26/14)

Here is a new twist on the classic Bargello quilt. Ruth Ann shows you how to create quilts full of free-form twists, turns, and 3-D effects. She teaches you how to use easy straight-line strip piecing to create the illusion of curves in motion. Cut up your stash of novelty and even "ugly" fabrics; they will look great in these large scale projects for beds or walls. Instructions are provided for eight quilts, plus information on making your own designs. (Quilter's Digest, June 2014)

This type of quilts seems to be increasing in popularity.

Presented in straight forward way. Simply Gorgeous Quilt examples. I want to purchase all her books. She has good ideas & helpful information. Teaches you to calculate your yardage in a simply, easy way. Even beginners can do these quilts with a very little sewing experience. It’s in the way the blocks are put together that makes them so beautiful. They aren’t hard to do because she makes it so easy to understand. It’s just sewing squares together, but knowing color too. Light and dark combinations. She shows you how to design your own, or you can follow her examples. “JellyRolls” would do well with these types of quilts. I had rather make these Bargello, that piece quilt with stars, shapes, etc. Hope you can enjoy these as much as I enjoyed making some of my own with examples. Happy Quilting!

Loved the patterns but disappointed that I could upload certain parts to print out to follow. Bought the kindle version & ended up purchasing the soft cover book. I feel The kindle version was a waste of my money.
