Twist-and-Turn Bargello Quilts

Twist-and-Turn Bargello Quilts by Eileen Wright ...If accuracy and precision in piecing appeals to you, then take up the challenge of a magnificent Bargello quilt. The amazing works of art whirling through this book are like dances in fabric; they move, have life, ebb and flow, or as the author says ‘simmer and stew’! All of the quilts featured are made employing regular strip piecing techniques using vibrantly coloured fabrics in a colour wash effect. The fabric placements create wiggles and twists, while varying widths of slices ‘produces rounder corners and sharper points’. Find essential advice on fabric selection, cutting straight strips, creating a fabric map, building strip sets, pressing, and cutting accurate slices. Each of the eleven designs has individual colour choice advice, step-by-step instructions, diagrams and colour design charts.
Each year there seems to be one title that stands out from the crowd that deals with the same topic – this must certainly be the Bargello book of the year! 96pp. Recommended equipment include the original gypsy gripper, ruby beholder, cutting mat, ruler and rotary cutter with a sharp new blade.
