More Twist-and-Turn Bargello Quilts: Strip Piece 10 New Projects Kindle Edition

OK so the book gets 4 stars, It has some great patterns, although I wish there were more actual bed size patterns, who wants a quilt to hang on the wall? My grandmother maybe, but she's not around anymore. If I make a quilt, I want to be able to use the quilt. OK now about the format - I will never, ever buy an instruction manual again in the Kindle format. I was thinking when it actually came time to sew and follow the instruction of which pieces to connect where, I would print out the map page to follow. (in bargello quilting you are constantly referring to the pattern). Well I didn't really realize that they protect the content in Kindle form so that you cannot print it. Very frustrating to have to constantly wake up your tablet to view the page, rather than have the page taped up above your work area to see.

I have never made one of these quilts before, but always wanted to. The directions look easy to follow if you are careful. I will repost once I have made the quilt.Update. I have been working on this quilt for months. Working on 2 color runs. White to Black and light blue to turquoise. Two pieces of advice. One forum mentioned cutting the strips in half so they are about 20 inch long before sewing them together to help prevent the bowing of the strips. I am trying this and it seems to work better. Another tip. I sewed all my panels together and then realized some of my colors are out of order. Make 1 full panel first to make sure you are happy with the strip arrangement before moving on. I have a lot of un sewing to do that could have been prevented.Update with photos. Going good so far. Good clear directions. I am finding them easy to follow thou they do make you take a moment and think about what you are doing. Basically you are taking 20 or so fabrics, cutting them into strips and sewing them into panels in color order. Then you cut across these panels to make design strips. You then take these strips of color, rearrange them and eliminate some colors to form the pattern. I found using a shape cut sprint  June Tailor Shape Cut Sprint  helpful for making the initial strips. I also wrote the numbers on the salvage of the fabrics to keep them in the right order. I also took the design chart copied and enlarged it to make it easier to read, and can mark them off as I complete them. Finally, I lay out one new design strip and then the other to make sure they are correct and the same before sewing. I also have a numbered color strip on the wall in my sewing area for easy reference. Not a weekend project, but hang with all the prep and the results will be worth it.

I saw the Argyle pattern on Pinterest in red, white and black it was gorgeous. You no the saying “ I saw it and just had to have it”. But, I wish all in instruction were together, bouncing back and forth from back of the book to the front is annoying. You can easily make a mistakes. I originally purchased the download and couldn’t print it. So, therefore I thought purchasing the book would be better. I realize the author is concerned with her product being pirating. Most all quilter have a pattern they can write on. Well, my in pulse to have costed me big time. You live and you learn.

I made the Misty Morning borgello for my first full-sized quilt. The instructions in this book were super easy to follow and I love my quilt!

Fro a beginner not a good book. Not a lot of details, more for advanced quitter. Not a lot of pictures of what you need to do.

Easy to follow, great to be able to make different sizes; although required cutting & sewing individual 1 1/2 inch squares to sew together (over 1900). Need to see if I can do it as strips instead. Got rave reviews from the client I made it for.

I purchased this book primarily for the quilt pattern on the cover. Several of the patterns look beautiful and I cannot wait to make them. Instructions are very clear and easy, and even a novice should be able to follow these patterns (assuming the novice can reliably cut and sew the long strips accurately).Con- 2 of the patterns are nearly identical (from my aesthetic view point) and are both very like one from the previous book. However I purchased this book knowing that as I wanted the other patterns. It is just something I felt others might want to know.

I have always loved bargello. I have made many needlepoint wall hangings using the bargello technique. Now that I am quilting, I am thrilled to have a book which clearly describes how to make a bargello quilt. The instructions seem to be well written and I am more than ready to get started. Currently getting my fabric together so that I can make one of the quilts in this book.

Superb instructions allow you to cut and construct strips of fabric and then with clever placement create the twisted Bargello.

The content of this book has everything I wanted ! Excellent seller service.

I wanted to try Bargello for a while, and this book has spurred me on. It'll be a small project to start, but the instructions are idiot proof, so ....

Highly recommend any of Eileen Wright’s Bargello pattern books. My first time making a bargello quilt and followed her directions in Twist & Turn Bargello book. This book “More Twist & Turn Bargello Quilts”, is great, with additional creative patterns

Well written instructions and patterns for learning the bargello technique! Highly recommend this book.
