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.
