border suggestions for Bargello
I know I am planning ahead a bit, but I have this Bargello top half finished, and my brain wants to know what border to put on it.
I am thinking of a light blue inner border and a darker blue outer border. Does that sound like a good idea? I need to go buy some more of the darkest blue fabric if I go that route, so I thought I might ask what folks thought. I have enough of the dark green, but ….well, just looking for input.
Thanks for your thoughts.
The second half of the top will be a mirror image of what is on my design wall right now...

This is so pretty, Dina.... I like you color idea. Have you thought of doing the outer border white instead of dark blue. You could even do a mini white first border, mini light blue 2nd border...then the white 3rd border....then dark blue binding. That would give it a floating effect.. I suppose you have to decide what kind of effect you want and where you want the eye to go. I love the colors you chose for this....to me it's really soothing and a dark border may change that effect. It will be beautiful when done, either way.

I like that piece that has the white in it. Counting the darkest blue, the 4th one to the right. How about a skinny border of a solid blue and a wider border in the blue/white? Do you have enough to do that?
