I promise I have been working on it. I am right on track to have it finished by the time baby #2 gets here and that was the plan.
At the last class, we learned how to turn our strips into runs as well as how to nest 40 pieces with no pins at the machine. Holy heck, I wish I had learned THAT a long time ago. Maybe there wouldn't be a lone star UFO in my closet?!
I got the first 6 runs done after I got home from the class and this is what they look like. I can see it all coming together and I am getting excited!
Today, I spent some time working on it. I got another 12 runs cut, ripped and reset. Now I am ready to iron, sew those runs back together and start joining them to one another. When I finish these 12 runs and join them to the 6 I have already done, half of my top will be done!!!!

That is one intense looking quilt! Good work, I can't wait to see it done!
I just bought the same book and found your blog while surfing for tips on Bargello. I'm going to start with a smaller one. The Aurora Borealis. I couldn't believe it when I saw this quilt in the book. My son-in-law just opened his private practice and called it Borealis. I just have to make it for his waiting room. I am still trying to decide on the colors but will keep checking your progress and will keep you posted on mine. Thanks for the encouragement.
