    I like this idea- very pretty quilt!

    I know you say red or black. However, I would choose burgundy.

    I'm not sure. Make a sample of both if you have any extra fabric.

    My first thought was red. That is a very pretty quilt.

    I always consider the color of the backing.
    red/white varigated.
    Beautiful quilt.

    That is a beautiful quilt. I love the colors. I like a quilting thread that is not prominent. But, I don't quilt as well as you do. Your work is so good, it can stand out. Mine needs to be in the background.

    To me, it would be beautiful with just plain old while thread, but if you need to choose a color between black & red, my choice would be red. Black would be too harsh on the white but red would look nice on the white and blend in with the black.

    It is a beautiful quilt.

    I would probably use white or variegated, but since you asked about black or red, I vote for red. The quilt is beautiful, by the way.
