I am beginning to get the hang of this bargello pattern...border suggestions?
Okay, I am 3/4 done with my Surf Song bargello pattern. Several of you keep saying to send pictures as I am going, so here is where I am now.
I have 3/4 of this top center section done, and I am starting to think of borders. I like borders, and I bought enough of the dark purple for that to be the outer border. Not sure of which fabric to have as an inner border.
Suggestions? I know I will audition various fabrics, but would like your thoughts.
Thanks.

Its beautiful! I've always loved the single color border split with a flange like this,

IMHO- I would make a small 1' inner border of the dark pirple in the top and then make the outer border a medium purple such as you have on the chair in the 1st pic or a med blue since the pattern is "Surf" As I always ask- What color do you want this quilt to be"

Usually a darker fabric works best for framing the quilt. Maybe do an inside accent border with the lighter opposite color or your outside border. OK, in other words, try a light lavender for an inside border with the outer border being a dark blue. The bargello is looking real good!!
DINA, your cat seems to be intensely looking at the quilt. What is it's opinion ????
