Bargellos are beautiful quilts, but when you study them its easy to get overwhelmed by all the little blocks that make up these gorgeous quilts. In this class you'll learn how to make a small bargello quilt while mastering the skills that will allow you to take on larger and more complex projects in the future! The classes will focus on organization, plus proper sewing and ironing techniques - all of which are essential. We will also discuss the merits of matched and staggered seams in Bargello quilts. 

Here is the class handout!
