Bargello Pinwheel by Claudia Crump - Friday Afternoon 1:30 - 4:30

I love Bargello Quilts but have always been intimidated by them.  Then I saw this fun pattern and knew I had to give it a try.  It was fun and incredibly easy to make.  There is a lot of sewing and you do need to be consistent with your seam allowance, but you will love the finished product!  

Each block is 15" squaer and you only have to make 16, so you will be done in no time!.

Come try something new!

Size: 60" x 60" (On mine I added a border so you may need extra fabric if you do that)

Supply List;

Machine in good working order

Basic sewing kit

rotary cutter, mat, 6”x 24” ruler

pattern Bargello Pinwheel   CastillejaCotton.com

20 fat quarters( I did 10 in green/white and 10 in black/purple) See picture

From each of 20 fabrics cut 8 strips 2” by the width of fabric (WOF) for a total of 160 strips.(assumes fat quarters)  Make sure that the fat quarters are at least 18 X 20”. You need the full 20 inches so it is better to have a little extra. Number 1 to 20
