Very pretty quilt. I would add white as a border with a red binding.

A narrow white border is a good idea. But those red diamonds in the white squares is very nice. If you have enough red for more diamonds, why not a border with red diamonds bordered with white, the strip could be more narrow the white squares. This would look nice if you want to lengthen the quilt by adding to the two ends.

The white border and red binding seems to have won out. What I do is lay it down on the floor and pin the different suggestions one at a time and take a picture of each idea wit my iPad then look at each one over and over and one usually stands out. It's going to be stunning.

Yes, I would put a border on it.....the darker red in your stars if you have enough of it....and maybe a narrower white border first. I'd have to audition it to see how it looks with the white. Beautiful quilt, by the way! Can't have too much red!

A narrow white border and a border of the red print. Lovely quilt!

White border then if you have enough red a red border or binding. You could do a keyboard with the red and white.

I agree with several others here that said a white border and red binding. It is a beautiful quilt.
