    Bargellos don't usually turn me on, but this is one stunning quilt! I would just bind in a dark shade of red that you have already used.

    Lovely. Not sure I'd add a border to this but audition your fabrics. I'd use a darker fabric for binding.

    This is a beautiful bargello. I love the colors you choose. For the binding I would select one of the darker fabrics already in the quilt. That way it frames it nicely but doesn't add another layer of busy.

    Stunning.

    I think the red square is a lightbulb shining through.

    Cheers, K

    It is outstanding!! I would go for a dark red. That would
    tend to pull the quilt together and 'frame' the quilt well.
    And I am definitely a fan of red. Oh, by the way, did
    you go to a quilt retreat to work on this for a week, or
    just off by yourself. I love that idea and would like to
    do it myself.
    Have a Blessed Day!

    I used 20 fabrics. But I bought 29 because I had such trouble deciding and planning.

    This is stunning! And, if you like red (and I do!), then putting on a red border would not be "too much". In fact, I think a red border would be perfect!

    No borders-but would use one of the darker reds for binding.
