I have always been intimidated by a bargello pattern. You made it so clear. I love the tips at the end to help me learn from the potential pitfalls. You have inspired me to get over the scary parts of cutting the tube of fabric. Thank you,-- you are a good teacher.
What a great combination of two quilt styles! The alternating color and white is just as interesting but less stressful on my eyes as a straight-up bargello.
That quilt is absolutely stunning. I have 2 jelly rolls of Kaffe Fasset in warms and cool colors that i can blend with white and this pattern would be perfect. Thanks for sharing .
Fantastic 👏👏👏 ... this would be s great Sew a Jelly Roll Day project. I''m gonna try it with a dark background & can't wait to see the results. Thank you sew much ❤.
Nice! I’ll be making this. I would ditch the Post-its which are liable to fall off. I use plain masking tape, the buff-colored type, marked with a Sharpie so the ink doesn’t rub off on my fabric. Works great! I couldn’t quilt without masking tape!
Avery mailing labels work well. I found a bunch from my work from home days. Now that I'm retired I was going to give my old office supplies to Goodwill. I'm rethinking that. :)
Very nice quilt. Couple of suggestions 1- use numbered straight pins that can be reused for many projects (they set on Amazon even comes with directional pins AND blank ones so you can write on with a sharpie. 2- You can tell the right side of a jelly roll strip by finding the crease and flipping over the piece. 3- I love the idea of turning strip set “inside out” so it lays flatter but I think I’d just not add so many to original tube sets. Maybe break up into 4 tube sets. A new, sharp blades are a must too! And finally- handle with care. Smaller stitches are a must.
All great suggestions- a few were mentioned in the video. I’ve seen those pins you’re talking about and I’ve thought about buying them but have never pulled the trigger. As I’ve mentioned in previous comments, making smaller tubes is definitely possible, but the cutting instructions would be different. Thanks for your awesome comment!
Great outcome A suggestion: when folding the wrong sides of strip sets together, move the seams a wee bit apart, so the seams "best" a bit better, for a smoother cut, 3 layers instead of 4. In other words: have the 1/4" seam allowance ontop of a single layer of the strip below ...Tip from Jordan Fabrics, several years ago.
Wish I could send a picture. I love how my project worked out. Mine is about 66 x 80. I used 2.5” strips from my stash. Some strips weren’t the full Width of Fabric so I just added another partial strip. This required some replacements after the slices were made, but there were only a few of those. Accuracy with seam allowance and slicing is critical. It was pretty frustrating as a result of being a bit hasty in slicing. Thank you SO much for this great tutorial. Now to figure out about border vs no border and a trip to the long armer.
I love it. It goes together like scrappy trip around the world quilts. How about Trippy bargello or trippello quilt for its name. 😅 I am going to make this. I love the effect.
Try sewing into 4 units instead of 2. My first one was that way. Also I took one to a retreat to sew together after I had cut the strips into vertical rows. Start with one end strip and progress putting them in order on a pin. It keeps the columns in order. I then tagged them by groups. I hope this makes sense. I love making bargello quilts.
I think you need a longer ruler. A free standing clothes dryer comes in handy to keep those strips in order. My name suggestion; The Forever stamp quilt. 😄❤❤❤
I just watched this video for the second time, Suze, so I could write down the measurements and your tips. I hope time will permit you to write the pattern up because I’d love to support you by buying it. This is a stunner!
I don't think I'm allowed to write a pattern for this because it is not my design. It is a standard Bargello. I just turned it into alternating strips & solids instead of hombre colors. There are so many Bargello books & videos out there already. I am afraid of taking credit for something that is not mine. I'm happy to help you in any other way I can though.
@@revelationquilts then, I’ll buy another pattern to make up for it. One question. Did I understand you to make your second tube inside out - with the wrong side and seam allowances on the outside - for ease of cutting?
@@dorothyyoung8231 Yes; I tried it both ways and found out that turning the tube inside out to cut it worked out much better. In hindsight, I would treat both tubes in this manner. It just lines up so much better this way.☺
Your quilt designs are amazing…you were correct though…for me it would be obstacle illusion lol…my ADD and three fur babies…we would never manage this but you are awesome 🎉I’ll content myself with admiring yours.
Hi Revelation Quilts! I love watching you construct your different designs. Very inspiring. I was wondering when you were cutting your strips out of the tubes if you would have made them in four tubes instead of just two if cutting them would have been easier? I am a new quilter, just finishing my 6th quilt so I don’t really know all the ins and outs yet. Any insight you can provide as to why you chose to do it in two sets would be greatly appreciated! Love your content!!!❤
I think she just started by sewing all the strips in each set together. There’s usually more than one way to proceed. We can change our approach based on personal preferences and experience of what works best for us.
It would work, but you would have to change your cutting widths to get the same result. If you started each tube with 1", you would get 2 narrow bits in your quilt top instead of just one in the center.
Very interesting technique. Thank you for sharing. I wonder if you are familiar with Irena Swanson's patchwork technique. She works with tubes instead of strips and gets stunning results. I am a huge fan of her work and think that you might like her ideas, too. She is on social media calling herself 'tube piecing'. So far, she has written two stunning books about her techniques. It is fast and very accurate - love it.
I didnt feel like your blade was fresh for a tutorial, and was very nervous of your Sharpie pen so close to the fabric. I think your Post It notes could be done ahead of time away from your mat. I saw a technique of using more than one ruler, actually 3, to cut larger lengths, where you would lay a second ruler behind your cutting ruler, off set, so longer than where your cutting ruler stops. the third ruler is laid up at the top of your cutting ruler and it butts up to your second ruler. So the cutting line is accurate and a lot longer. No need to move your fabric. I absolutely love your approach to teaching something very difficult to explain. And your "trippy" quilt came out just beautiful.
Love this quilt! But I know that, with my inability to measure accurately and keep a seam straight, mine would look like a dog's dinner! 😅 ❤👍from Somerset UK
Question - you say take 20 of the color and 20 of the white. However, when you have them hanging on your design wall and state to sew them into a loop, it looks like there are more than 10 on each side - are you splitting the jelly roll at the fold before you sew?
I meant instead of having the 1" strips in the center, moving them toward one side so that the optical illusion has the "wave" occurring on both sides. Do you think it would work?
I understand now - I do think it would work, as long as you still progressively expand the width of the strips moving away from the 1" ones. If you try it, I'd love to see the results.
If it works, I'll let you know! Btw, thanks for all your great patterns! You're the first person I turn to when I want to do something new and interesting!!
It would, but you would have to change your cutting widths to get the same result. If you started each tube with 1", you would get 2 narrow bits in your quilt top instead of just one in the center.
Have you "quilted" this one yet? I wonder what the best way to quilt it would be, so as not to interfere with the optical illusion? ty P.S., I suggest naming this one Heatwave, since it reminds me of that bendy heatwave that you see above a horizon or roadway on a hot day.
I have not quilted it yet; it is in a long line of quilts waiting to be quilted on my new longarm. I think I will sew wavy lines across the quilt. Simple as to not take away from the illusion.
Question. for the engineer mind who likes this stuff, Why Couldn't you do the second "loop" starting with a color square. hang them like you do, and when you start switiching every other one, wouldn't the white square, color square automatically be set and you wouldn't have to rip a seam. My biggest thought was would the seams be pressed in the right direction?
Okay, so your question kinda makes my brain explode 🤯. I really have to think about that. I’m sure there was a reason why I did it the way I did. I am trying to think about it.
I must have not understood how to arrange the colors because it took days for me to re arrange the rows. In fact, I had to make this quilt smaller because I had to remove some colors. Wish this video included how she rearranged the rows.
I started with the narrowest rows in the center and as I went outward, the columns got wider. As for the initial sewing together, I alternated the whites & colors.
Did I miss something? You said you were sewing 20 strips from each roll, but then you ta!k about cutting " both big tube s". So did you sew all 40 strips?
I never knew that about the right and wrong side of a solid. Thank you!
I have always been intimidated by a bargello pattern. You made it so clear. I love the tips at the end to help me learn from the potential pitfalls. You have inspired me to get over the scary parts of cutting the tube of fabric. Thank you,-- you are a good teacher.
I'm so glad! I was intimidated by them too at one point. They are so worth it in the end. I've never had one turn out badly.

You have made another beautiful quilt. Your explanation was easy to follow also. Beautiful, Suze!!!
Glad it was helpful!

Beautiful quilt. One more to add to my list.
Wonderful!
This would look awesome with a black background instead of the white! And then with really bright and popping colours, maybe a bright batik. Love it!
I agree 100%!
This is absolutely stunning! I’m heading up to look for jelly rolls now! Thanks! 💚
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

This is again a beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing your pattern and tricks to handle the strips.
that was awesome. thank you. my engineer brain loves this stuff.
I'm so glad you liked it!
Love, love, love all of your quilts. Made the marble motion quilt and my son in law claimed it as his Christmas gift. Need to make another.
Thank you! Yeah, we have to be careful who we show our quilts to. LOL Before we know it they've disappeared!
Awesome quilt! Thank you for the tutorial
You are welcome!

Beautiful quilt and easy instructions. I will use a bigger rotary blade to get through the layers and my stripology XL ruler Thankyou

I love it! Using a black light will also show the right and wrong side of fabric.
Wow! I’ve never heard about that.
Very clever Lady , so patient with your thinking , will try for sure ,

I'm not quite sure what you mean by offsetting them.
I love this idea!! Would you recommend a newbie to make this?😁
I think a bargello is the 3rd or 4th quilt I attempted to make, and it turned out beautifully, so YES!
You've made a lovely quilt. Thank you for sharing. Could I suggest that when you cut you position the ruler on the main fabric? Gwen
Great tip!
So cool, thank you for sharing! How about "Sign Wave," or "Trippy Wave"? 😉
I like it!
I have a solid black jelly roll... I wonder what that would look like
I think it would look equally cool; perhaps ever cooler!
You can also just flip the column to change placement - no need to unstitch and resew
Indeed! Great advice!
The name of this quilt is "Obstacle Illusion" of course!
You are a genius! LOL

Each strip is a different pattern. No duplicates in this one.

What would happen if you made your widest strip only 2 3/4? And then went back down

Did I miss something? You said you were sewing 20 strips from each roll, but then you ta!k about cutting " both big tube s". So did you sew all 40 strips?
I had 2 separate tubes; each tube has 20 jelly roll strips mixed with white strips. I hope this answers your question.
