Back from our trip time to add boarders. Would like to add several wide ones to make it fit our bed. Have 1/2 to 1 1/2 yards of most fabrics, could do a plain border than pieced or ? Thanks for your help

Definitely the darkest brown to frame it up with the first narrow border.
How much do you need to add in length? width? Keep it simple and don't cause the eye to focus on the border, as you want it to be drawn only to the inner bargello. It could be as simple as just having one border.

I did one bargello similar to yours. I pused a 5 inch plain fabric for a border and then continued the bargello pattern on the edges to make it larger. Then bound it with the same as the plain border. Your quilt is lovely. Good job.
