Also agree with most other posts ... if the quilting is going to be special (ie not an all over or just SITD) then use the solid red with white thread to show off the quilting on the back. If your just going to SITD or use an all over quilting - then I would opt for the floral print.
Oh, okay, I get the idea of flange now and I like the idea. If I used the red stripe, as someone suggested, for another border, I'd need something between it and the solid red because the reds are not exact. The solid is a little more cherry and the stripe is a purer red. A white flange would probably break it up enough though, don't you think?
