Black and White Bargello



Thank you for stopping by for the Black and White Blog Hop hosted by Creatin' In The Sticks.

With a black and white and gray jelly roll on hand and a plan to make a bargello quilt, this became the project for this bloghop. This is a new to me design. I'm wowed over all the stunning bargello quilts online. Google them and see all the amazing designs for them.



It's all about the flow of the placement of the pieces. I actually did not use a pattern for the design. I did read many online sites about bargello patterns and did watch many Youtube videos on them and then just winged it.

I added a white on white print from my stash to define and enhance the flow of my design. I like it with just the design and no borders, but I had no more 2.5 inch strips so I added the solid black and gray borders.




I call this quilt Enlightening. It was enlightening to me to take on the bargello that I thought I would never accomplish and just love everything about it -- the easy, quick, and beautiful design it became. And it does sort of look like a lightening bolt, don't you think? I will confess this was not the design I envisioned at the start, but I'm super pleased with the result. It seemed to take on its own look.



If you haven't created a bargello quilt yet, make it your next must do project. You will not be disappointed in your creation.

 Check in with Creatin' in the Sticks for more black and white this week.

    Your version of bargello is marvelous. I am in love with the monochromatic look for this style. I made one with a jelly roll gift and decided it looked like mountains and canyons when tipped sideways. The more I read about black and white, the more I am loving the modern timeless look. Well done. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I just played with Bargello myself here recently. I love the movement it gives a project. How fun to throw caution to the wind and just go for it. Your results are nothing short of "Fabulous"!

    Ohh, I love your Bargello in Black and White. I have always been drawn to the design on Bargellos and have made a couple. Great idea for the Black and White hop. A huge thank you for joining the B&W Hop! Your quilt is very inspiring.

    I love this quilt and that you did something you always wanted to. I have taught people how to do them, but never done them. Now, I am thinking of some strips I have in my stash....thanks for pushing me in that direction!
