You could let your quilt inspector help, however I will say that I love your quilt, absolutely gorgeous. My first reaction is the second darkest blue with the darkest purple, but there are so many combinations.

Thanks again for all the great suggestions. I will finish the center of this quilt today and start auditioning borders tomorrow. :)

I made Surf Song last year and did not add a border. I took the almost completed top to several quilters and asked what they thought, and even though it's our nature to add borders, I accepted the majority decision not to add a border. I so totally love it.

I understand. My son doesn't think I should add a border, and when I look at other bargello quilts online, they don't have borders. I really prefer borders, but I will go with what looks best ...if I get that far today.

Thanks for your input. I am going to love this quilt, which is rare for me. Usually I don't know if I will like a quilt until I am finished. Nice feeling to know already. This is the wall hanging size. Wonder if I could get myself ready to make a larger one....hmmmm.

Your quilt is beautiful. I loved making this one.

I didn't put a border on mine as DD decided against one.....but....I like the idea of a border on that pattern....kind of like a frame for art.....I would use one of the lighter colors for the inner border, then one of the darkest for the outer....but that is just me and my honest opinion.....You did great on the fabric selections and it is coming together great!

Okay, I have finished the last 1/4 of my bargello and have made a border decision. It was fun deciding what look I really wanted, and here is what I just decided. The borders aren't sewn on yet, so visualize each 1/2 inch skinnier when all is said and done.

Thanks for all your suggestions. This whole process has been fun, especially with all the help I got from lots of you quilters!! :)

Really like it. Your colors are very pretty together. I am thinking I might have to add one to my to do list.

I just noticed your avatar is a Bargello. It is beautiful!!!!
