Twist and Turn Bargello Quilts

When I first looked at the quilts in “Twist – and – Turn Bargello Quilts” my thought was Wow, these quilts are amazing! My second thought was Yeah but could I make one. After reading through the directions and introduction the answer is definitely YES!
Eileen Wright’s directions are clear and easy to understand. In her introduction she covers topics such as how to choose the fabrics to achieve the different visual effects, how to cut and piece the strips to avoid distortion and how to keep everything organized as you go along. Her experience teaching this method shows in the tips and suggestions which are included throughout the book. The design maps, which are included for each project, help keep you organized and provide a reference while you are sewing. In addition to the beautiful full sized quilts there are directions for making a table runner and placemats. These smaller projects allow you to get a feel for bargello quilting without the commitment to a larger project.
“Twist – and – Turn Bargello Quilts” makes these visually complex and beautiful quilts very doable!
