Wow I love the color combination!!!!!!

HI Dina Cleaned out some emails sorry my box was full !! This is the toughest question but if you FEEL the need for a border, start trying the various yellows for an accent border and one of the darker blues and see what appeals to you. Sometimes when Bargello is very busy, I just put the binding on using the darkest color to frame it. Do you need a border?? Just a thought !! Good Luck !!

In fact, I had two experiments in mind when I started this quilt. Could I made the Surf Song wall hanging pattern about ten inches wider and longer and could I make the yellow sort of glow. I have been successful with the size of the quilt, and the jury is still out on if the yellow will glow. :) I will probably have to finish the whole quilt before I know that one. Thanks for the border suggestions. Once I get the whole thing done, I will audition the choices and see what I decide. That is probably a week off... Dina |
It is spot on. Beautiful quilt and sushi made a lot of good suggestions. Please post the finished quilt.

I would find a fabric that combined both colors, preferably in a batik (I really like batiks). I think that they go w/bargellos. Here are some pics of one of the bargellos that I did. I didn't find the border fabric until the bargello was completed. I used a narrow dark purple as my first border and as my binding to frame the batik border. Just a thought. Whatever you choose will be gorgeous.

Beautiful quilt, Dollyo. Thanks for the border idea!

Love that the yellow is awesome, sun and water
|
If you want a double border I agree with the darker blue, then I would go with the darker gold for the inner border. I'm excited to see the finished quilt!
|
So far your bargello is fabulous! Nicely done, and super colors! I'd audition fabrics after the center is completed.

Outstanding job and colors are wonderful.
