Plan
Gina’s gem of a quilt uses clever bargello
piecing to make a dazzling display of
rainbow color. Select a gorgeous palette
and strip piece your way to a striking
quilt without spending a lot of time or
effort.
Strip piecing requires consistent seams
in order for all the segments to work
together. Use an accurate ¼ ̋ seam allow-
ance throughout to ensure all elements
of the quilt fi t together well.Designer Information
