Beautiful quilt! Solid color for the border would be great!

It looks grand I have never got the nerve to try one,But I really like the pattern of the Bargellow pattern myself.

I love this quilt I think a dark border first to frame it.

nabobw 03-26-2011 05:21 AM

Yes a plain border

juliea9967 03-26-2011 05:23 AM

I love your quilt, I love your colors, I love the pattern. I don't think I've seen that pattern before. Can you tell us the name of it, or is it called Wedding Bargello?
I also think you need 2 borders. One little one, and then a larger one.
It is beautiful. Really great color choices, which I think is the hardest thing to do when making a Bargello.

Wow, i love the colors,a beautiful quilt.

cwessel47 03-26-2011 06:11 AM

Very nice! Blues and browns are great together. Keep the border simple - right idea. It's lovely.

Homespun 03-26-2011 06:37 AM

That is striking!!! I agree--2 borders--audition your colors--blue and brown or brown and blue.

What great 'flow' to that pattern and I think you are right...plain border.

debcavan 03-26-2011 06:59 AM

I am thinking a plain border not to fight with your gorgeous, beautiful center, just like you are. That is stunning, just stunning.

Ann912 03-26-2011 07:37 AM

I agree with this. Either a dark brown or dark blue, one being a thinner border than the other. If you want to tone down the blue in it, then have the brown border on the outside and be larger than the blue border.

No matter what you choose, it's a beautiful quilt! :thumbup:

I agree. A darker color would be perfect. It looks fabulous right now though.

Grandma Peg 03-26-2011 11:03 AM

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I am glad you reinforced my thoughts about borders. It will end up being two borders (because it has to be King! I will be using the chocolate brown and a blue (probably brown binding) I am thinking. For those that asked, the book is "Twist-and-Turn Bargello Quilts" from Eileen Wright. The pattern is called: Cosmic Twist. I found that by making a copy of the layout chart and checking each strip off as I made it, I was able to keep much better track. They are fun to do!

Heid 03-26-2011 05:28 PM

That is so beautiful!! Great job.

nightquilter 03-26-2011 05:34 PM

What a beautiful quilt. I would use a darker border. Also I can't imagine doing a bargello. Such talent.
