I'd chose one of the darker colors also. Great quilt.

WOW! I would probably use dark brown or black - whichever is the dark in your fabrics.

Stunning! I love the reds - I agree with the darker red for the binding. I think a border would detract from the quilt. It's just beautiful.

i don't think i'd put a border on it. and i would use the darkest red for the binding. so, if putting a border on, i'd use the darkest red as well.

Makes me want to go camping. I would also use a darker red and skip the border.

Gorgeous!

Your quilt is going to be beautiful! Love, love it. I've got to try a Bargello one day. Yours is an inspiration. Can't wait to see it finished. Great job so far.

I'm addicted to Bargello's..this is beautiful..no border..go dark with binding!!

I would bind in either a black or navy. Use it as a stop factor.

Been looking for an easy Bargello pattern. I like the stip method. What pattern are you using?
Looks fantastic and I love the red!

I think one of the darkest reds or a black would be best for the binding....you don't want to take away from the quilt with a border but you do want it to stand out and a very dark binding will do that.

I just recently finished that in orange and green, it is queen size without borders- and plenty large enough. If you need it king size, borders will do it. I love your colors. is going to be really really gorgeous when done - heck, it is now.

I don't want to say I told you so...but I told you so! I am one of those red people and it's gorgeous. I love it! Can't wait to see the finished piece.

Moonrise thank you so much for letting help you with this quilt and for letting us follow your progress. I think a deep deep red, almost black binding would be prefect.

Can't wait to see thsi fnished, red is my favorite color - this may inspire me to make one in red for myself.

your inspiring me. great job

It is looking Awesome. Going to be a beautiful quilt.

Honestly I am not a fan for red and when I saw your fabrics some time ago I did not even reply. I am amazed, can't believe it came out so beautifully. Congratulations and I say again your quilt is going to be very very stunning. A dark red seam I suggest.

I think one of your brighter medium colors would give it a bounce and really accent the darker colors on the outside. Beautiful and I wish I had the courage to make one. Maybe this winter when I am house bound.

Fantastic quilt, looks huge! IMHO I think I would bind it in a dark chocolate or black. Its looks like you have a little bit of chocolate color in there.

Gorgeous, the finished quilt will be gorgeous too. I think black might be a good choice.

Looking good!

I agree, one of the deeper reds for a border but I wouldn't make it too wide. Just enough to frame it nicely...

What a beauty! You are an inspiration! I also would choose one of the darker reds for the binding.

That is beautiful! I believe I would go with one of the darker reds for a binding. Introducing another color would not work for me. Lovely!!

Wow - That is gorgeous!!

love bargello, this is a beauty... where did you get the pattern... always looking for new ones. Quilter 1234

beautiful. When I am done makeing charity quilts this is next on my list. I have been collecting red batiks for it.

This is an incredible journey you are on and you are taking us with you. The quilt will be beautiful - already is. Red - at first I thought it would be too much but it is perfect.

Now tell me how many reds did you use?

Bargellos don't usually turn me on, but this is one stunning quilt! I would just bind in a dark shade of red that you have already used.

Lovely. Not sure I'd add a border to this but audition your fabrics. I'd use a darker fabric for binding.

This is a beautiful bargello. I love the colors you choose. For the binding I would select one of the darker fabrics already in the quilt. That way it frames it nicely but doesn't add another layer of busy.

Stunning.

I think the red square is a lightbulb shining through.

Cheers, K

Oops. Double post.

It is outstanding!! I would go for a dark red. That would
tend to pull the quilt together and 'frame' the quilt well.
And I am definitely a fan of red. Oh, by the way, did
you go to a quilt retreat to work on this for a week, or
just off by yourself. I love that idea and would like to
do it myself.
Have a Blessed Day!

I used 20 fabrics. But I bought 29 because I had such trouble deciding and planning.

This is stunning! And, if you like red (and I do!), then putting on a red border would not be "too much". In fact, I think a red border would be perfect!

Great job. Enjoy your time. Can't wait to see the finish quilt.

No borders-but would use one of the darker reds for binding.
