I agree! Keep it simple to showcase the beauty of the quilt!!

I think just the plain dark border. The other borders (I think) make the quilt too busy. However, your quilt will still be beautiful no matter which border you choose.

I like the plain dark green border and nothing else on it. Nothing is distracting from the bargello.

I like the first one too. Busy quilt, just needs a nice soft border, so it doesn't detract from the beautiful quilt. Colors of borders are great too!

I also sent the pictures to my sister, my niece's mother. Before she was a teacher and principal, she was an art major... but more importantly, she knows what her daughter likes.

She picked the thin dark green, bargello pieces with a wider dark green border. But she thought it was important to match the bargello pieces to the actual quilt.

I have the small dark green border and two of the bargello strips on. The larger green border is just setting next to it.

What do you think?

Only partially done

Simple border for me. That is a very pretty quilt.

I like the single light border with the dark border. The bargello
is beautiful
