Or, cut the stripe on the bias and add a little red piping. Striped bias is always so interesting. Let us see what you decide and please allow us to see the rest of the quilt.

Incidentally, the striped border is fine.

Thanks.

Ditto! I love the striped boarder, especially if you miter the corners like it shows in your photo.

I pulled up your photo and thought "WHOOEE - I like that!" I am also finishing a red/black/white quilt and I think your striped border is a dramatic finishing touch, especially with the cornerstones you have. Go for it!

Its hard to tell. Can you post a larger picture with more showing??

nativetexan 08-30-2011 05:31 PM

i happen to like stripes and you went to a lot of trouble to miter those and match. just do a red binding.

Halo 08-30-2011 05:37 PM

I would put a 2inch red border on first & then add the strip & then bind it in red also. I think it would frame the quilt much better. It will be beautiful no matter what you decide.

Thumbelina 08-31-2011 05:35 AM

Keep the striped.

Ann912 08-31-2011 07:18 AM

I would use red.

I like the border, but for me it is thrown off by the corner setting square. I think one without lines would work better like the red with dots or tear drops on it.
