    I would just bind it in red.

    I like the second picture. I'm a renegade, always have a different opinion. Please yourself and it will be perfect.

    I have to agree with the ending it in red is a lot brighter to me than just the green. I vote for the final border being red.

    Only 1 red border and bind in the red. I love a contrasting binding!

    No more borders, just bind it.

    I'd leave the last red border off and just bind it in the red.

    if the last green border is as thick as its going to be then i would have to go with ending in red.

    i think the quilt looks better ending with a large outer border - that color really isn't as critical for me - it just needs to be thicker then that green one you're showing.

    I like ending with the green and then a thin red binding. I think the extra red border overpowers the inner panel.

    I think ending with just green with red binding would let your eye go to the center of the quilt, where the wide red border makes you look everywhere at once.
