I have been toting the gift card my husband gave me for Mother's Day last year around and finally decided to use it. I signed up for a Bargello class at my LQS (Patched Works). It starts on my birthday. That is one amazing gift. I never thought I would find the opportunity to take a quilting class as a amazing gift but when you never get any time to do what you want to, it is AMAZING when you do. The project is the Cosmic Twist quilt found in Twist-and-Turn Bargello Quilts by Eileen Wright.
I went in to Patched Works today to get some fabrics for the class. The instructions say to bring your stash but I don't actually have one so I have to purchase everything. I found 7 of the 20 fabrics that I will need. The fabric for this class is going to cost me a small fortune but I have never made a quilt just for myself, so I am feeling slightly vindicated.
I searched the Internet for color combinations used in bargello's that I like. I really love the purple/teal combinations I have seen so that is where I started.
