It grew from this little experiment:
To this bedsized quilt!
I'm very happy with how this turned out, and I took lots of photos of the process, so will put up a tutorial soon for those of you who'd like to try a bargello of your own!
For not having used a pattern, I ran into amazingly few problems :) (mostly to do with me mixing up colours, sigh, here comes the seam ripper!) I also discovered that when I make one section of a seam-heavy quilt in the summer and the other sections in the winter, my 1/4" seam allowance is quite difference - which totally sucks when trying to match seams. I was pretty inventive with my cosmetic quilt surgery! :) And in the end, no one can tell! Hah
I've decided to quilt it first and then put the borders on, since I'm expecting a bit of shifting during quilting, so it's basted to an oversized backing and batting right now!

Wow! That is amazing - and no pattern?! It is really gorgeous. Are you keeping it for yourself? After so much work, I hope so. How are you going to quilt it? It is just so beautiful!
Incredible! Great name.

Gorgeous!!! How are you planning on quilting the top? That may be too pretty to use, you should hang it on the wall!
