BARGELLO PLACEMATS

Bargello Supply List
Fabric:  A word about fabric choices:

We are working with a basic Bargello design, so we will use only 9 different fabrics. For best results, choose your fabrics carefully. Since the placemats or table runner are small projects, a gradation of one or two colors will work well. Choose fabrics of different values from dark to light, and include a variety of prints and textures. You can also add one fabric as a pop of color. Avoid solid fabrics.

For inspiration, Google Bargello quilts or search for Bargello quilts on Pinterest. Remember, for this, your first Bargello project, keep it simple with just one or two colorways. Once you've learned the technique, you can go crazy later with lots of colors and fabrics in larger projects.
If you have any questions, let me know!
To optimize learning and sewing time, you will need to pre-cut (3) 2" x WOF strips from 9 different fabrics:
For four placemats or a table runner, 
Bring whatever extra fabric you have, just in case of mis-cuts
