when choosing borders---light vs. dark the final quilt does make the decision...a dark border is going to stop the quilt and frame it--
a light border will extend the design and move it out to the edges.
so...when you have the bargello part finished you will have to look at it and decide...stop it now, and frame it... (dark border) or allow the design to expand out to the edges ... (light border)
either way does usually work on most any quilt...just have to decide which you like best for the one you are working on.
