I love the red. Darker and will highlight your work.

Definitely the red! Maybe a very small of the other between the main body and the red.

I agree with the others and doing a 4 to 6 inch red border.

I agree. I would frame the quilt with a narrow red border, then add a wider border of green.

Can't wait to see what you do.

I agree with this choice!

I think I would do maybe a 2 1/2 inch border in the light color and then use the red in the outer border in maybe a 4 or 6 inch or vice versa. You quilt is very pretty.

I believe the red makes it standout more.

I agree with border suggestions here and that quilt is super. I will have to do one too. I think I have those fabrics too. Happy quilting. You are off to a great start.

Totally agree with this suggestion ... What a beautiful quilt! Great job! Show us when you're finished!
