I like your red and white Hunter's Star quilt. I would use a red border of proportional size and bind in red. I think adding a white inner border would distort the symmetry of the outer portion of the block. However, I do like this pattern without borders which makes a more contemporary look. As others, I will be interested to find out your choice.

I added a small inner border and a 4 inch outside border. I used Kim Dehil fabrics so ir was easy to find borders. I can't post a picture from my iPad or I would show you.[ATTACH=CONFIG]552105[/ATTACH]
