I agree with all the others...a simple red binding will frame it nicely. Great job by the way.

It's for our church bazaar, so my taste isn't important.

I agree that this does not need anything else but the binding and because of the simplicity it makes a clear statement this way. You were quick to make this one. I say that because of how recent that issue came out. Perfect!

Another vote for just the binding. You don't want to draw attention away from all your beautiful piecing.

Love the simplicity of the pattern. Very striking, The red binding will give it the finished touch.

Red binding without the addition of another color is the perfect finish for your lovely quilt.

Idea ... red flange, then a wide green border, then red binding.

I was just getting ready to suggest the exact same thing and then scrolled down and read your reply!

Saw a similar wall hanging a couple years ago at a quilt retreat. They used green for the tree blocks and then red binding. To really make it fancy, then added tiny silver snowflake buttons on the tree. It was gorgeous! Just a thought as to how same pattern can be different.
