I really do like your border choices. If you are talking about the small colored areas in the lower bottom corners, that is what happens when you have the lightest and darkest colors near the bottom or top of your Bargello. I CHEAT and just remove those dark colors and replace it with a more appropriate color. I have done that for years especially if the Bargello quilt was to be entered into competition.

What I would change is that I used 21 fabrics, and I would have used just 20, as you and I both know that an even number works better in a Bargello. I also would not have cut the skinniest pieces at 3/4 inch. That ended up actually being too small for a bed sized quilt. An inch or an inch and a half would have given the same result with a lot less work.
LIke I said, I learn something with each quilt...
