Easy Bargello Quilt Kit Back in Stock - The Quartz Metallic One! from Busy Hands Quilts

The Easy Bargello quilt in Quartz Metallics is in stock at Connecting Threads! They've sold out several times, and they're back in stock.

Easy Peasy Squeezy!

I named this quilt pattern Easy Bargello 'cause it's the easiest Bargello you'll ever make as there are no seams to match! If you've never made a Bargello quilt, this is a great place to start because it will teach you the technique without any fuss matching seams. And of course it's all strip piecing for a quick and easy finish!

My quilt top just came off the longarm and is still hanging on the rails, waiting to be bound.
