part 2, border(s) for my miniature Bargello
 
2 Attachment(s)
I asked originally if just one border would work for my miniature Bargello, and several suggested to audition a small white border before the purple border.

So here is a picture of each. Which do you prefer?

Thanks,
Dina

I like it with the small white inner border! Cute mini-Bargello!!!!

I like the white too!!!

I think the white adds to the quilt. I would go white

I prefer the purple only. The reason is that the purple then continues from the inside of the quilt out and around your border to create nice movement.

I like the white frame.

I like the double borders.

I like either. I think it depends on what the purpose of the borders is for you. The one with white acts like a frame, separates the border from the center, and is very effective as a frame. The plain purple extends the quilt center. So do you want a frame or do you want an extension of the center.

I think the purple alone continues the flow of the idea but the white on the other hand does add a nice frame. Hmmm decisions, decisions.....

Hi Dina. it does need that extra breathing space for a tiny white border. It gives your quilt more depth. Was wondering when we would see another Bargello from you.

I like white. I like the quilt, so pretty and bright.

That looks perfect!

Thanks, everyone. I decided on a small white border. Now to "get 'er done!"

Definitely with the white added. Gives it a more classy look.

I like the double border. I think of a frame to showcase the work.

Add the white border. You did a really nice job, looks good.

I like it best with the narrow white inner border.

SusanErler 07-29-2015 08:49 AM

I like the small white border too. Frames it nicely.

SuzzyQ 07-30-2015 04:08 AM

I like the one with the small inner border. It framed the design and signals the end it. Very pretty.

annette1952 07-30-2015 06:34 AM

I like the small white border with the wider purple border. Looks great to me.

mjmachin 07-30-2015 07:39 AM

I like it with the small white border,,,,, helps to really set off the design. Beautiful work!!

#2 with white framing border.

tlpa 07-30-2015 11:16 AM

The white seems to frame the pattern. Very nice.

MargeD 07-30-2015 12:18 PM

First, I have to say it's a beautiful Bargello miniature quilt, plus my favorite colors. I think the narrow white border just adds a little zing and sets off the quilt. Either way, it's beautiful.

Definitely like the 2nd with the small white border. Great mini quilt...a beautiful work of art!
