I only have two more blocks to make and am having a problem as to what color I should use for the border

a narrow white then either blue or red would look very nice.
Lovely quilt.

A very narrow dark border like navy blue, dk brown or even black. The dark narrow border will give the eye some place to rest before moving onto the outer border. Then multi blue/read wide border.

I agree...will look spectacular!

You've laid out the blocks as if there is sashing. Is there, and if so, what will it look like? How wide do you want your borders to be?

How about a small red one, then a bigger blue one.....

I like Macie's suggestion.

Sounds ideal to me. Good suggestion

Thin red than wide blue would be my choice.
