Narrow white, then either the red or blue. I'd do red.

What a beautiful quilt. I think a white border would look really nice.

Small white border or the royal blue as a border would look good as well.

That sounds good - the white inner border and then something outside of that. I like that idea because if it's a bed quilt, it will probably get some handling around the edges. I raised three sons and a husband, and white quilts scare me.

Yours is gorgeous!

Beautiful! The prettiest curved LC I've seen. What is the pattern name and size. When I first looked at the quilt, what came to mind was a thin white border and then a wider border of royal blue with same for binding. Other ideas here sound good also.

I second that... Your quilt is already beautiful but I can just picture it with a piano key border after a white inner border and then maybe a darker blue or red binding. Your colors are fun!

Finish with narrow white border then binding in blue or rainbow of colours.
