Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous, and I love your color choices. Sorry, but I have no idea about a quilting design, but an intricate pattern would be lost, so I would opt for something simplre that would enhance the design of the bargello.

Bargello quilting
I've down several Bargello quilts. The first one I did, I SID - bad, terrible idea - it didn't look bad, but all the turning was a nightmare! So now, I FMQ, usually treating several similar colors/rows as one. I'll choose a color that would look good on those several rows and then do some sort of design, whether its a feather, or just meandering, across those rows. Then I change thread as the colors change. I've drawn on this pink ribbon Bargello to sort of illustrate what I mean. Sorry it's on it's side - don't know what happened!

Fabulous job!! It's just stunning. Like others, it's on my bucket list...someday. I think the best suggestions are from Dunster and Quiltmom04. I have seen bargellos that had truly blah quilting and unless it's practically invisible, it detracts from the beauty of the quilt. I think the feathers or some type of design will enhance the quilt. Good luck and post pictures.

That is beautiful. I am so afraid to start one. I have a book and read the patterns but I am so intimidated and that is a lot of material to just jump into cutting it if I can't finish it. I don't know anything about the quilting but thank you for sharing your quilt.
