If thread color choice is a concern I've done a couple of bargellos with monofiliment thread and I agree with the complexity of the design an all over quilting will be great as it will keep the focus on the bargello pattern. It is beautiful!!!!

I think that feathers fit very well in bargello quilts. Here are pictures of some gorgeous bargellos that I saw in the 2012 MQX West show. I like the way the flowing feathers add so much to the quilt design. The swirls, though beautiful, don't really seem to go with the design IMHO.

I think an all over design, like a panto type would be fine, something simple and not demanding your eyes to follow, otherwise it will take away from the bargello itself....your bargello has lots of movement, but also lots of sharp angles and starts/stops....so trying to follow the pattern would be difficult ....just my opinion

Wow! That is amazing! In some quilts the quilting is the star, in some the fabrics are the star, and in some the piecing is the star- yours is obviously one of these, so I would do very simple quilting so as to just complement the intricate piecing. Beautiful job-
