Bargello Star - Workshop with Jeff Warner
​
This Kaleidoscope Bargello block is made of 6 identical panels of bargello piecing to create the dynamic 18" star pattern. It uses 5 background fabrics and 4 star fabrics. (A set of 9 fat quarters will make two complete blocks.) There are a couple of hours homework to create the strip panels before the workshop. Most people can finish the block during the workshop time. Skill building with assembly-line piecing and Y seams. Learn an easy technique with your Stripology XL Ruler to cut strips with a 1/4" or 3/4" in the measurement. No one else teaches this! And learn how Fray Check can be used in quilting.

Jeff Warner
The Shape of Bargello
​
I am a self-taught stitcher in Long Beach, California with experience in sewing just about anything and everything. I have been creating original quilt designs since 1991. In 2012, I made my first Bargello quilt. That led me to develop my unique Kaleidoscope Bargello style.

Paula Nadelstern,
Symmetry and Surprise, The Kaleidoscope as Design Inspiration
KALEIDOSCOPE - the very word promises surprise and magic, change and chance. Exploding with visual excitement, a kaleidoscopic design organizes an abundance of color and shape into a complex, coherent and unique whole. This slide lecture traces my evolving quilt series in which the multifaceted, luminous and random nature of a kaleidoscope is explored on a quilt's flat surface.
