I have made many Bargello quilts and I find it best to use your darkest color as the border as you have done. I do think your first choice is the best. I prefer an accent border. GOOD LUCK. I am sure they will have many years of enjoyment from this beautiful quilt you have made. :thumbup:

I agree with this. Let the border showcase your beautifully done Bargello.

And, personally, I'd lose the thin lighter colored inner border.
Dulls the glow of the actual Bargello.

I agree.

Ditto for me!

My two cents: I like the first one -- as many others said, it doesn't distract from the gorgeous body of the bargello. Great job on it, by the way!!

I like the first one. It doesn't take away from the bargello.
Beautiful colors, she will love it.

I like the simple double. A beautiful quilt.
