Work in progress and Bargello done minus boarder, suggestions for board appreciated.

Oh, how pretty! Piano keys for border, maybe? Do it like the REAL piano keys, it would look great on a b&w quilt.

pretty, pretty, pretty! :thumbup:

Funny you should say piano keys, the back will be music notes.

Ok, when I saw black and white bargello, I thought... that won't work... but its beautiful. You did a great job. I think I'd go with a solid black border to frame it though.

That looks amazing!

Very pretty! :)

Absolutely stunning...I would agree with the solid black border. You did a great job on the top.

You need a narrow separator and then the black and white piano keys would be really cool. You could use the music note fabric from the backing for cornerstones in the border.

Striking :!:

The piano keys is a great idea, but I think I would like the look of the solid black better

that is gorgeous, i love black and white

Absolutely positively gorgeous!

If 'snazzy' is a word, that's what I call it. I love it.

I'd put a black zinger and then one of the fabrics you used in the strips. It's beautiful BTW!!!

Gorgeous!! am trying to get up the nerve to try one of those. I also think a solid black border would just set the whole quilt off. Great job love it.

Wow, that's spectacular! Great job!

That is one beautiful quilt. Just classy looking :D

Great looking quilt!

Love it! I vote for solid black borders.

Stunning!! I love the idea of piano keys, but think it might be alittle too much. A nice, (unique) solid black border would frame the spectacular work you did. :-)

Gorgeous quilt - LOVE it!

That's what I was thinking, too.

Maybe a narrow red border and then do the final one in piano keys.

This is REALLY pretty, I love bargello's...you did a fantastic job.

Very pretty! You did a great job!

How cool!! Creative idea!! I like the black border first whatever else you do.

What a lovely B&W bargello! I'm no help on borders. Just something to frame that beauty. Whatever you decide will be beautiful.

I think a black border would be wonderful. That is a beautiful bargello.

Just beautiful!

Keep the border simple so as not to detract from the quilt.

Absolutely stunning!

This is absolutely beautiful!

I don't think I've ever seen just a two color bargello, and I really like it. Beautiful job.

Sounds like a perfect match to me :D:D:D

Your quilt is gorgeous!!!

Absolutely stunning!

Beautiful. Do you want to keep it black and white or would you bring in a hint of red?

beautiful work ! appreciate the time & effort this took !
kudos....keep up the good work !

Lovely!!!

Great idea for the border. Trouble with me is that I would have to take photo of piano. I am musically challenged to be sure. Do have a love affair with my sewing machine though.

So very petty

I agree with everyone who recommends keeping the border simple. A thin piping of red, then a border the same width of one bargello strip would finish the quilt off beautifully IMHO.
