You’ll be surprised to find a Bargello needlepoint pattern that inspired today’s Challenge Design.

Found on pp. 104 and 105 with color photo on page 72 in Designs for Bargello by Nikki Scheuer, this 4-2 step flame and diamond Bargello pattern uses loads of colorful threads.

I returned to Silk n’ Ivory thread to work the design…just can’t seem to get enough of it!
