This quilt is 88" x 70 1/2". I am used to working in bright colors, and most of my quilts are scrappy. This is a nice change from my usual style. I didn't use a pattern for this quilt, but I've made another quilt with a bargello border, so I knew it wouldn't be hard.
If you have ever thought of making a bargello quilt, there are many tutorials online, and it isn't hard, especially if you have a design wall. For the record, I used 11 colors and bought 3/4 of a yard of each color, which was plenty for Trent's quilt with about 5 inches of each left over. If you cut everything perfectly, 1/2 yard of each color would be enough. I like to have a little more for safety.

Congrats on the finished top. I've never seen a bargello border before. Nice!
I looks great. Have you decided what fabric you will bind it with, yet?
It's really lovely Laura.
Both of your bargellos are nice. I like how the second one hangs on the side of the bed! I just finished my first bargello this week. It was easier than I thought it would be!
Your bargello quilt is nice. And love that bargello border too. I have never made one but it's still on my to do list :))
That didn't take long at all to finish! It looks fantastic!
