I have made many Bargello quilts and I find it best to use your darkest color as the border as you have done. I do think your first choice is the best. I prefer an accent border. GOOD LUCK. I am sure they will have many years of enjoyment from this beautiful quilt you have made. :thumbup:

I agree with this. Let the border showcase your beautifully done Bargello.

And, personally, I'd lose the thin lighter colored inner border.
Dulls the glow of the actual Bargello.

My two cents: I like the first one -- as many others said, it doesn't distract from the gorgeous body of the bargello. Great job on it, by the way!!

I like the first one. It doesn't take away from the bargello.
Beautiful colors, she will love it.
