Wow Chele! That is too cool! :thumbup:
I vote for a small (1" - 1.5") dark inner border, then the wider border of the fabric on your cutting board. I think the dark one will help 'contain' the bargello & show it off. Then use the scraps in a new quilt!
:D :D :D

Chele it's BEAUTIFUL!!!! You did it! :) :) I am so proud of you!! :) :) :)
On the topic of borders, it's a bargello, you don't want a border that is going to take away from the bargello design....if you want to add a border, make it a solid color so it's not competing with the center fabrics in the design.... if it was me, I would put a 4 inch solid black border on it, with black binding.

Chele, It is a beautiful quilt!!! You can be proud!!! You might try printing a copy of your photo & then cut the photo out & place some scraps behind it to simulate a border in the way you were thinking of doing it & then try some black & see what that does for it. Stand back from it & look at it for awhile & then decide. It would be nice to get a little preview of what both would look like before choosing don't you think? I like everyone's ideas but I would like to actually see them before choosing. :D
