The Olympics started on Friday and by Saturday night, this quilt was finished. Ye Gods ….. there is still another week to go! Don’t worry, I have projects to keep me busy! LOL
Quilt Details:
Pattern source: Bonnie Hunter's "Scrappy Bargello" with a twist. I had my fabrics carry completely from left to right side. The method used was the same. I just had to ensure there was enough fabric to do it this way.
Quilt Started: January 2025
Top Done: Feb. 19, 2025
Quilt Finished: February 7, 2026
Quilt Size: 55" x 75-1\2" (top size before quilting, washing and drying: 59-1/4" x 80-3/4")
Batting: Hobbs poly
Machine quilted by: Kathy Wareham using Baptist Fan Curl by Nancy Haacke Designs". I have used this quilting design in a number of my old fashioned looking quilts. It just suits the look.bit
The weather has finally warmed up a bit and will stay in the minus single digits for the next week. This was a break we really needed after the bitter, bitter cold.
Cherish your day, cherish your life, cherish your freedom and cherish your country. My country will always be CANADA!
Elbows up!

ReplyDeleteAnother great finish. I love that you continues your colours right across the quilt.
ReplyDeleteI made a Bargello quilt year ago using Bonnie's pattern but I didn't carry the same fabrics all the way through. This quilt looks very nice, I'll have to try that method sometime. Enjoy the Olympics, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteWell done....you win a gold medal! lol
ReplyDeleteA beautiful scrappy finish.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt turned out beautifully. I’m sure you have plenty more to keep you amused while watching the olympics.
ReplyDeleteThese bargello designs are always so stunning. What a finish! Yes, it's "warmed" up here too with a break from the deep freeze. But it's February still. Sigh
