Sunset at the Beach Quilted Table Runner
Quilt all the colors of the coastline in this Sunset at the Beach bargello table runner! Even if this is your first venture into making a bargello project, quilting expert Heather Valentine will guide you step by step!
A bargello quilt is a quilt made of strips of fabric sewn together to create the appearance of movement. While the patterns look complicated, they are actually great quilt patterns for beginners. If you can sew a straight seam, you can do this!

She then demonstrates how to cut, subcut and piece the fabrics and strips to create the wavy bargello effect. With the help of this video, even a beginner can learn the bargello technique.
