Great job! I agree with others.....red narrow border, black "math" print for the wider border and maybe the purble for binding. Whatever colors you decide, they're going to "pull" that same color out visually.
Interesting pattern....do you have a source for it? Thanks!

I think of it as "sealing" the patchwork, "floating" the accent, and "framing" the big picture. Hope that makes some sense...it really needs a photo, I know...sorry...not a skill I've mastered yet. OH, forgot to say how much I like your top...I really like your top!
Your quilt is wonderful!!

This is my favorite pattern for aquick quilt - it takes me about 11 minutes to sew together one block after all the pieces are cut and put where they are going to go... I LOVE IT!! Red is my first reaction to the question - can't wait to see it done.
