It's a top! -

 

 

My Sundance Bargello is a top - 

 

Ta Dah! - ;))

 

 

Top -  

 

 Middle - 

 

 

Bottom - 

 

 

Bottom right -

 

 

 

Bottom center -

 

 

I tried to make a collage of three bargellos I made from this pattern -

And it finally worked - but G00gle Ph0t0s decided on the order - 

 

Top - Sundance Bargello -

Bottom left - Imperial Bargello - 

Bottom right - Northern Woods Bargello - 

 

I think it's interesting how different they look - 

Depending on the colors/fabrics - 

And the number of "repeats" - ;))

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

 

Another game -

 

 

Of "bobbin chicken" was played yesterday - 

 

And this time I lost - 

 

Which is usually the case - LOL - 

 

 

And it was on the very last seam on the left side - 

 

Of my Sundance Bargello - 

As a side note - 

 

I realized - pretty late in the game - 

 

That I somehow changed the name of this one to SunSET Bargello - 

 

When it should be SunDANCE Bargello - 

 

So I had to go back to all of my old posts and correct them - 

 

Later today I'll get it sewn together and pressed - 

Then I'll take a photo of the completed top - 

And post it tomorrow - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

 

A few more seams -

 

 

Were sewn on my Sundance Bargello yesterday - 

 

 

And I only have a few more seams to go - 

 

To get this top together - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

 

Before -

 

The curtain tieback looked something like this- 

Photo courtesy of Amazon - HERE - 

 

 

After - 

 

It looks like this - 

 

Courtesy of Echo's cute little friend - Doja* - 

Who is all grown up now  - 

It was FRINGE - 

And FRINGE must be destroyed -

 

So she did - LOL - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

 

 

* Doja - Pronounced DOE-zha - the J sounds like the G in beige

The right side -

 

 

For my Sundance Bargello is sewn together - 

But - before I show you that - 

 

Here's all that was left on the bobbin - 

 

After I sewed the last seam on the right side - 

 

I played - and won - a game of "bobbin chicken" - LOL -

 

So - 

 

For those of you who have been waiting SO patiently - 

 

Here's the right side - 

 

Ta Dah! - 

 

The colors are more "true" in the photos above - 

 

I LOVE it so far - 

 

It's different from the Northern Woods Bargello - 

 

But I think it's just as pretty - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

Moving along -

 

 

With the right side - 

 

Of my Sundance Bargello - 

 

 

I know - 

 

Just one more seam -

 

And the right side will be together- 

 

But yesterday was a busy day - 

 

And I ran out of gas - LOL -

 

Besides - 

 

Those sections are so wide - 

 

I want to press them separately - 

 

Before I sew that seam - 

 

And take a photo - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

And more sewing -

 

 

To get an eightsie  -

 

For my Sundance Bargello - 

 

 

Added that to the center section - 

 

And pulled the next four strips - 

Moving right along - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

More sewing -

 

 

And another foursie - 

 

For my Sundance Bargello - 

 

 

Slow and steady - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

Plugging along -

 

 

With some twosies - 

 

For my Sundance Bargello - 

 

 

And some foursies - 

 

 

One seam at a time - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

Some foursies -

 

 

For my Sundance Bargello - 

 

And the next four strips on the right - 

 

Ready to be un-sewn at the proper spot - 

It's slow going -

But I eventually get there - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

A slow start -

 

 

After I sewed the first twosie - 

 

On my Sundance Bargello - 

 

I realized that I had messed up the order of the strips somehow - 

 

So - I un-sewed the twosie -

 

And re-sewed the strips back into tubes - to start over - 

 

When I rearranged them again - in the correct order - 

 

I un-sewed them at the proper spot - 

 

And stair-stepped them - again - 

 

Then I sewed a couple of twosies - on the left side -

 

So - through all of that - 

 

I only have two twosies to show for yesterday's efforts - 

 

But - at least I caught it before I had gone too far - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

Starting in the middle - again -

 

 

I pulled the center strip/tube - 

 

For my Sundance Bargello - 

 

And the four strips/tubes to the left - 

 

And the four strips/tubes to the right - 

 

Turned the strips/tubes inside out - 

 

Then stair-stepped them according to the pattern - 

 

 

And - again - 

Starting in the center seemed to be the most logical spot - 

 

The fabrics were in a pleasing order straight out of the package - 

So I tried to not over-think it - again -

And put the DARK BLUE ones at the top - 

With the ORANGE ones below them - 

 

The same way I sewed the strata -

 

That should make it easy to follow the ORANGE patches -

 

As they shift up and down the pattern - 

 

Now I need to "unsew" each tube at the top - 

 

To make the long strips -  

And start sewing them together - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

 

It's a top! -

 

 

My Northern Woods Bargello - 

 

Is a top! - 

 

Ta Dah! - ;)) 

 

 

I LOVE it - 

I LOVE the colors and the gorgeous batiks - 

I LOVE the flow of it - 

 

It's funny - I don't really see the ORANGE anymore - 

 

But I think that the TURQUOISE makes it POP - 

 

And gives it a bit of a Southwestern flair - don't you? - 

Now I'm looking forward to playing with the next one - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

The last four -

 

 

Strips on this side - 

 

For my Northern Woods Bargello - 

 

Are twosies - 

 

After I sew them together for a foursie - 

 

 

Then I can sew them to this section - 

 

And the middle strip - 

Then add the right side - 

Which you have already seen - 

And we'll have a quilt top - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

Moving on -

 

 

To the left side - 

 

Of my Northern Woods Bargello - 

 

Since I started in the center with the skinny strips - 

 

And sewed some to the left and to the right - 

 

I had part of this side done already - 

 

Now I only have four more strips to go - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

The right side -

 

 

Of my Northern Woods Bargello is done - 

 

Ta Dah! - 

 

I took this photo long-ways - and rotated it -

 

So it might look a bit better than the first one above - 

 

If you double-click it - 

I LOVE it - 

 

I was holding my breath there for a while - 

 

Not knowing if it would work or not - 

 

But I should have known it would - 

 

Sometimes you just have to relax - 

 

And trust the process - ;))
