Here's my completed strips. I did rearrange them from this picture.
Wanted to get the darks more even.That dark spot at the bottom is my stool. If it weren't for that I couldn't reach the top of the board. I'm too short. LOL
Then this is the dark narrow border I found in my stash of TB. It is Navy with stars but does what I wanted it to.
Did you notice the darker strip was on the opposite side. Just looked better.
Then In this picture that I sent Kim last night I just had the outside border stuck around the quilt
This morning I got the outside border sewn on. It is a Thimbleberries. One I had used on another quilt and had the length.
Then this afternoon I decided to get into my old stash of blues and pulled out a lot of odd pieces and started to stick them up on the quilt to make a scrappy pieced backing. Took me all afternoon. But it's done and I have a big enough piece of batting so hopefully tomorrow or this week I can get it pinned . This one I feel I can machine quilt. Lots of straight stitfching.
I really love the way it has turned out. Thanks Bonnie for mentioning this.

Great quilt. I like the light and darks, just like shadows.
Great job, it appears three dimensional in the photo. You must have all of the colors in the right places.
great job! I love the fab you picked for the border. It is perfect!
NOW I MAY HAVE TO DO ONE.....
lol
Dawn in MA
The final arrangement is terrific and all done in two days. You are a quilting dynamo and famous too. I will have to try this one too, maybe.
Your bargello quilt is lovely and those borders really do set it off. I took a peek at Judy Martin's site as well -- you're right, I like yoru lighter version better too :0).
Your bargello turned out great! It's great to be able to use so many fabrics and have a nice quilt in the end.
What a great way to use up a stash. I have been looking around at blogs and have found many of these and they are great. I also went and looked at your log cabin and it is super, I also found a few friends that had quilts there. Thanks for sharing.
You even finished yours! Way to go! It is beautiful. Thimbleberries fabrics always blend so nicely with one another. I am adding a link to you!
Well done, I do like the difference it made when you rearranged. I only have the first 1/4 of mine done :o(
This one turned out so cool! And the border - does that ever add to it! I love it!
