I finished the basic center of my wavy bargello WH. I am undecided about borders. None -- or add some. Right now it measures about 40" square. The first pix is in the upright position. I also took a sideways pix that I think I like better.

Opinions, please

It is from the Twist and Turn Bargello book

Either way! I like it! It is beautiful!

lovely job!

Enjoy,

Oh, Child that is darling.

It's beautiful

Looks like a peaceful day on the water somewhere. What a beautiful quilt.

The colors are beautiful and it is so calming. A light border might just make it pop.

Pretty quilt! I think it needs a border ... nothing elaborate. I think a dark blue 1" border would frame it nice and then a wider border with one of your light-colored blue fabrics, like maybe 4" wide? You did a wonderful job!

This would be my choice for borders as well.
Great job!

That was my thought exactly. Such a beautiful quilt. Great job. I agree with a small dark border, to stop the eye, and then a wider light border to give you more size.

I love your bargello in blues!
It's gorgeous! Please show us again when you get your border and binding completed!

agreed, either way would be gorgeous. I put on 8" borders just so I can have an outrageously quilted feathered border. But this is so gorgeous by itself without borders. And I can see it with a dark blue border being wonderful. Toss a coin

Stunning!

Beautiful I say wide navy border

Gorgeous quilt. I like the border ideas given above. It would frame your quilt very nicely.

Nice, I like the colors. Bargello is on my 'bucket list'.

Beautiful!!! I would add a border if it was my quilt!

a boarder..
I like boarders.... think it finishes it off....

btw.. beautiful!

Just beautiful!!

I agree

i'd like to see a dark border on it.

That is gorgeous but I think I would put a border on to make
it pop.

I did a bargello and had the same thoughts as you but now that I have bordered it out it just seems to have finished it nicely so I vote for borders.

well is it to be a lap quilt or a wall hanging. if a lap quilt, i'd add borders to it for sure.

Beautiful!

I love how Eddie bordered his...2 borders different sizes, same color with a thin strip or flange between in a contrasting color. Looks like a matted framed piece of art!

Wow!

LOVE IT! I agree a dark blue border would look great

Love it! I would add a narrow dark blue border or just bind in dark blue. It depends on how big you want it to be.

I'm on the "yes" do borders team. If it were mine I'd do two, smaller lighter one inside and larger darker one outside. It's absolutely fantastic. Now, gosh darn it , I've added yet another for the bucket list!

wow super job

oh, it's beautiful. i vote for ending with a dark border to set off your beautiful work. is this a strip piece pattern? :-) :thumbup:

The blue bargello quilt is awesome!! I love it like it is, but a quilted border would add to it.

Ditto on that from me! Audition it and take some pictures... then you will be able to see. Beautiful!!!

I made this very quilt :-) and I did the borders exactly as shown in the pattern- small dk blue, thin accent border, then larger dk blue- it really sets off the bargello. Yours is very pretty

Very pretty! Love the blues!

Beautiful quilt!!!

I agree -- two borders, narrow dark blue and a wider light blue.

Beautiful, with borders I think would be nice!

Beautiful, nice and peaceful

Either way it will look beautiful.

Wonderful! I vote for navy bordering

Stunning!!!
