Bargello Homework, Take 3?

Yippee! I finally finished ironing and cutting today. I actually used a whole can of starch just on these 20 yards of fabric. I have NEVER emptied a whole can of starch, EVER.






Here are all the fabrics cut and lined up for inspection.

Now for the next tedious step in the bargello quilt making process... sewing together the strips 1) in order and 2) with a scant 1/4 inch seam. As with any quilt, a tiny bit off here and there can make a big difference (and your life a living hell), especially in a quilt this complex. It's quite nerve racking but a welcomed challenge. I can already see my quilt coming together and I am in love with the colors. Stay tuned!
