The quilt I just loaded onto my longarm table is this bargello heart quilt:
I just pieced the backing- which is a medium shade of the salmon color fabric. I’ve drawn out the quilting plan, but I want to work on it a bit before I start the quilting. Check back and I will show you my prelim quilting plan for this particular quilt, also discuss design challenges with a bargello quilt such as this and how I overcome them. Carla note: Quilting Plan is HERE.
Been busy making all the travel details for my October Kauai trip. Thanks to Lori and everyone else who recommended what to do and places to see. I can’t wait to go!!
So far I like the roomba… it did miss one of two spots, so I will see if it gets those places tomorrow. So far, so good!!
A big welcome to all the new blog readers- I had a banner traffic day yesterday with about 1700 hits! That’s a lot of hits in one day for a smaller blog like mine.
Enjoy your day! Carla

I love the quilt Carla. Can’t wait to see it when you are finished.
Any idea what drove the extra traffic? I have that every now and then when someone posts a link to a tutorial on a mail group somewhere.
Great quilt.
OMG what did you do to get 1700 hits in one day????
That is gorgeous! Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with, and how you come up with it!
Such a pretty quilt. I recall seeing one similar hanging. It really makes quite a statement when you get a ‘stand back’ look. Can’t wait to see you how you quilt it!
