Here's Bargello like you've never seen it before: stunning quilts full of free-form twists, turns, and 3-D effects that look like Op-art paintings. The biggest surprise is how simple these quilts are to make! Designer Ruth Ann Berry shows you how to use easy, straight-line strip piecing to create the illusion of curves in motion. 8 projects with complete instructions plus directions on how to create your own designs. Slice up your stash—novelty fabrics and even ugly fabrics look good when cut up for Bargello piecing. Large-scale quilts look spectacular on a bed or on the wall.

Ruth Ann Berry comes from a generation of quilters and has been experimenting with a variety of techniques and fabrics for more than 25 years. Ruth Ann lives northern Michigan with her husband and children. They own a quilt shop where Ruth Ann teaches quilt classes.
