    I agree with most of the QB members-bind in blue would be nice.

    You just keep doing such a great job with your fabric and pattern choices. Your borders are so perfect and they lay very flat. I hope that newbies will look carefully and see how perfect border can be done.

    Thanks, everyone. I think I will go with blue. (I have cut out red too, just in case I change my mind. If the red doesn't work for this quilt, it probably will for the next one. )

    Either color would be great. I think I would do red to really make it pop. Hanks for doing such a worthwhile project to honor those who give their service to keep our country free

    I would bind in the same color as the blue outer border.

    Try a red and white strip cut on the bias. It will POP all the colors.

    I personally love stripes for a binding or a small print. I would go Navy and White, or a Navy, red and white print like the waving flags that you used in the quilt, bottom right, third block up on the outer right edge. JMHO
