I vote for either red or floral depending on how they look with the backing.

Personally I think white is not practical, will show off dirt first. I like the red.

I like the flowers. You could use a 2" white sash and a 2" flower border. Edie

PS - Then everyone is happy!

I would think that the floral would look really stunning or even the white would make everything pop. But when I looked at it the first time I was thinking red for the boarders, but maybe that would be too much not sure. I am sure that what ever you choose will look great.. Jennifer

Red, Red, Red Pretty quilt

Red, definitely red..........will make the blue pop

I vote for the floral...it picks up all the colors.

My first thought was floral, second red. Nice work.

Hi, I make a lot of the patriotic quilts and sometimes a red and white stripe cut on the bias turns out so pretty and is just the thing to bring out those colors. You might even find a red, white and blue stripe too. It is beautiful. C.

I vote red!

My vote is to use one of the floral fabrics in your quilt for the border. If you don't have enough of those fabrics left...use a floral with the same complimentary colors. Your freehand stippling is very nice! Good job!!!

I would bind it with red.

I would go with the floral also. It would pull the floral out of the quilt. The blue is already dominate, red and white are bold. Yes go with the floral.

Red!

I almost always make binding strips out of my left over fabric from that particular project. It makes a nice scrappy binding.

I can see a narrow white border to match the white around the block and than finish with a wider red border

This is what I plan to do. I'll get in there in a few minutes and start it. When it's finished, I'll post pictures. Thanks everyone!

I agree with the red, white does get dirty awfully fast around here!!

I am thinking the floral, then the red.... a double boarder...
white would get dirty too fast, and too much blue already...

When I first saw the photo, I was thinking blue, as I like the binding to just fade into the background. But when you said you were going for a patriotic look, and had the varagated stippling, I changed, and thought red would be perfect.

I vote for red, but think if you pieced all the colors together and cut on the bias it would be very interesting also. ;)

Very nice. My first choice would be red with second being the floral. Please show us the finished quilt.

my first thought was red and then I went with white.

I vote for the floral.

Tell DH that white binding gets grubby real quick. I think the red would be best. IMHO

Definitely the floral.

I would try a dark blue with a tiny red flange.

Dark blue

I would choose the floral.

Floral would look great.

Red is my vote

What about a red and white stripe on bias?

What about a thin strip of the floral and then red for the binding?

I think I would want to put on a border of the white about 1.5" then the floral about 2.5" and then bind in the red. But I love borders on a quilt.
At first, I thought if only a binding and no borders I'd use the floral, but now I'm thinking the red would be the thing to make the quilt pop.
So I say red for the binding. Yep, red it is.

Red

I'd go with red.

OK ladies, here it is, hot off the machine! (Give me a few minutes) I hope it looks better after it's washed.....

Hey, that came out very cute! Thanks for sharing. As far as the corners, it is your quilt and you can make it any way you want! I think it gave it kind of an old-fashioned look.

I vote for floral!

the bright red in the quilt would be grat....or if you don't want it to stand out try the blue.
