Explore the possibilities of the new Bargello quilt block. This book presents an innovative alternative to traditional Bargello quilting. Maggie Ball’s versatile 16-piece Bargello block, constructed from only four sets of four strips, is quick and easy to piece. From there, you can manipulate the block to create an enormous variety of designs with flowing lines and interesting secondary patterns.
The book features:

  • 16 projects ranging from a beginner table runner to queen-size quilts
  • Clear and comprehensive step-by-step instructions and detailed photos
  • Advice on fabric selection, with special tips on color, value and scale
  • A wide variety of setting options to inspire creativity
  • Galleries depicting further examples of Bargello block quilts
  • Blank diagrams to help quilters plan their own unique quilts

See what the “twist” in Bargello quilts is all about with this exciting new approach.
