Ok, I decided not to do a braided border. I decided to just add a small inner border (1 1/2" cut) and an outer border of 4 1/2". I didn't want to take the time to make the braid. I will make another bargello and do a braid around it. I don't think I have enough fabric to do the braid with the fabric I have and I do not want to hunt for it...I do like the way the quilt has turned out and since I added the borders, my DH has changed his mind and now says he likes it. Here's a photo with the borders added....
I already know how I'm going to quilt this and I'll have to wait until next week to do that...I'm not sure I can handle waiting but with a little bit of sewing on other projects, maybe it won't drive me too crazy....

It looks really great. I've never made a bargello quilt, perhaps someday I will. I have several things on the want-to-do list already and haven't found time to begin yet.
Linda, those are great choices for your borders.Did you add them one at a time, or sew the two strips on each side together and then add them? Looks like both of the fabrics are in the quilt itself - am I right about that?
The fabric I ordered for my border came so now I am ready to figure out exactly how I want to do it. I do like the way yours has two contrasting borders, so may need to re-think my plan. First, I am off to a not-so-local quilt shop for the afternoon.
