I'd do a very narrow border with the dark orange and then a wider border with one of your blues--wow--I love your colors and you did a great job. I've fallen in love with bargello--they looks so hard but really aren't!

The pattern is from Eileen wrights twist and turn Bargello quilts. And it really is much easier than it looks. The fabric is in the dryer now... I think I need to makes some more stripsets too. So much easier if I would take the time to think through my basic math and buy enough fabric to make it 2x the size in the 1st place!

It is very pretty. I love it. I am going to take a class for bargello at Quilt University Online on Jan. 6. I hope to learn alot about getting to know this type of artwork because I think it is so beautiful.

I would find 2 border fabrics; one in a golden print and one in a blue print. ThenI would put them with their colors in the quilt effectively continuing the colors to the edge instead of sealing the gold and blue inside of the border. If you REALLY want the color sealed inside, then I would border it in a black print.
