I like both.
Actually, I would use a red that matched, but not that same print.
It looks gorgeous in the blocks, and I love the quilt with the color, but not so much of the same print.
Without it, the quilt doesn't look quite finished to me, although I can see why someone would say it's elegant without it.
One way is bare...the other way is close to overdone...lol, now I am contradicting myself. I said I liked them both.
ok, leaving it up to you...it's straining my brain, but I LOVE the colors! :XD:
