What was your inspiration?

I love the colors of the fabrics and just thought it would make a great bargello. It was my 1st one, and I really like how it came out.

What are you most proud of?

getting all those little seams to match up.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Make sure when you have all your pieces sewn together and before you cut them in strips, that you iron all the seams the same way. When I did mine, I ironed each seam opposite of each other thinking it would work, and it didn't. So after I cut all my strips, I had to then iron each and every little seam one at a time to fix them. That alone took me HOURS to do! I won't make that mistake again! (hopefully lol)

Thank you. This one took me too long lol. Once I relaized I had to re-iron every little tiny seam, I put it away for a month or so. I really didn't even want to look at it after that. There was a point in time that I thought I'd just forget finishing this one, but I loved the fabric so much, I finally sat down in front of the TV with the ironing board, iron and all those strips. I'm glad I didn't give up on it! :)
