    Go with the simple double with no enhancements to distract one's eye. The quilt is busy enough and the simple border makes it stand out.

    I like the first one. Your quilt is beautiful and the plain border sets it off very well.

    Dulls the glow of the actual Bargello.

    Keep it simple, so the border does not start to compete with the bargello pattern. As MTS said, let it glow!

    I agree with this, you don't want to distract from the beauty of the quilt itself

    IMHO, a simple plain border will not detract from the beauty of the quilt.

    Simple double border. The quilt is spectacular and would not want to draw away from that.
