I vote for the first, simple boarder, to. Really makes all your work pop!

pjustice63 09-11-2011 07:27 AM

I agree with the other ladies...the simple border is super. But I also like the idea of a few prairie points to accent the colors in the bargello. Great quilt and colors.

Totally agree, the others pull your eyes away from the beautiful quilt.

I like the first option - plain & simple, does not detract from the bargello pattern. I love the quilt, the colours are so calming.

Chicca 09-11-2011 07:34 AM

I agree the first one...but, the prarie points really caught my attention also. Decisions can be so confusing. Good luck and share what you decide.

Yes, me too. Beautiful quilt!

Quiltmaniac2010 09-11-2011 08:27 AM

I like the first one - your bargello is gorgeous and it won't steal the spotlight.

dublb 09-11-2011 09:01 AM

I like # 5 Its just enough not to detract from the actual quilt!

Joan 09-11-2011 09:02 AM

I like the first one best, too!

Char 09-11-2011 09:38 AM

The first one is perfect!!

SWEETPEACHES 09-11-2011 10:02 AM

ANOTHER VOTE FOR #1

BLAP 09-11-2011 10:04 AM

I also like the first one. Simple border to not take away from the beautiful quilt.

clem55 09-11-2011 10:12 AM

I'd go with the drk border, I think it sets the batgello better. , and I'd use just the dark, no light or strips.

time2quilt 09-12-2011 03:54 AM

I agree with Jeanann - just the dark green border so it doesn't distract from the beautiful quilt.

kristen0112 09-12-2011 03:57 AM

I really like your quilt, beautiful! I like you darK borders with the strip in-between. I don't think it will be distracting I think it will draw you in to look longer at the quilt. Can't wait to see you final choice.

sidmona 09-12-2011 04:00 AM

Simple is best in this situation - JMHO.

katier825 09-12-2011 04:14 AM

I like the first one.

Agree. Beautiful quilt.

Patti Mahoney 09-12-2011 04:28 AM

I like the second picture except I would turn the corner stones around so that the blue is on the tip of the corner.

just simple border

Vivian Ketron 09-12-2011 04:37 AM

I like the 1st best then the 2nd.

triplerosa 09-12-2011 04:39 AM

I like the simple border, it doesn't take away from the quilt.

Delta 09-12-2011 04:42 AM

I really like the last one and the next to last the best. wonderful job.

k3n 09-12-2011 04:43 AM

Dark border and thin strip of bargello between - your second to last pic. This is what I did with mine http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-95466-1.htm

I totally agree. You don't want to distract from the flow of the Bargello. Beautiful quilt and love the colors. She's gonna LOVE it!!

Selena 09-12-2011 04:52 AM

I really like the first one. It compliments the bargello without taking from it.

Just what I was thinking! :thumbup:

Lucy90 09-12-2011 05:05 AM

I like the simple border so it doesn't take away from your beautiful quilt.

piepatch 09-12-2011 05:06 AM

Your quilt is beautiful! I vote for the first one, but I also like the one with points in the border.

Central Ohio Quilter 09-12-2011 05:10 AM

I love the looks of the one with the narrow strip of bargello in between the two dark borders.

Beautiful quilt!

Shrink42020 09-12-2011 05:11 AM

I like the first one, the simplicity of the border lets the bargello shine!

dahlshouse 09-12-2011 05:17 AM

I like the first one ... does not take away from the bargello...

northern lass 09-12-2011 05:17 AM

1st one is lovely and simple. Shows off the quilt beautifully

SandyMac 09-12-2011 05:23 AM

I personally like the corner stones.

Pieceful Quilter 09-12-2011 05:32 AM

Beautiful quilt! You didn't show this, but what about a simple narrow dark border, then a simple very narrow light border, then a simple wide border?

I think dark against the bargello would set it off more. I vote for nothing complicated whatever you do. Show us pics when it is done!

katkat1946 09-12-2011 05:35 AM

First of all, this is a lovely quilt, even seeing just part of it. Think I'd vote for the first border choice but suspect all would be lovely. My thought is that the others might compete with the center you've created.

muddlingabout 09-12-2011 05:35 AM

I think just the dark green border. It sets off all of those light colors. Beautiful color choices.

Sallyflymi 09-12-2011 05:37 AM

Like the simple plain border that highlights the pieced quilt. Wouldn't want anything to distract from the quilt.
