Agreed! This is a gorgeous quilt! I would use a red border (same red fabric used in blocks). As for size, a border that’s 1/3 the width of a block is eye-pleasing. Start with 4” folded , stand back, take a pic, maybe try 5” on the other edge. You’ll know it’s right when you get a settled feeling ; there are no hard-and fast rules.
