    I think that the red with your striped binding would be great. Incidentally, that is a very nice quilt.

    I think the red one would be beautiful as a border.

    I would do the red since it is darker and would make the quilt stand out.

    Love the red for the first border....what colors are in the stripe?? Depending on the colors in the stripe I might do the green border after the red one, then the binding.

    Great job on the quilt! :thumbup: I like both fabrics, and you could use a narrow one, maybe 2", of the green, and then a wider on of the red, 4-5". I really like the red and think it would make the quilt. Keep up the good work.

    I like both, but the Red seems to fit better.
    Are the charms squares by Moda?

    I would do a thin border in the red, with a wider border in chocolate brown to bring out the random pieces of chocolate.

    Beautiful Fabrics!! I'd use the red in a 4-6" border. Use a smaller width if it's a small lap quilt, if it's larger use a 5 or 6". Beautiful 1st quilt!
