need help with border for Corvette quilt

How about the checkered racing flag fabric? It comes in both wavy checks and the straight checks. You can find it at JoAnns and Hancocks. Then a second border or binding of one of the main colors in the quilt.

I would add a thin red border and then to make this really pop I would make a black and white checkerboard border. It would look great with squares no larger that 2 inches. Make 3 rows of squares for the checkerboard. Sometimes you can even find this type of fabric if you don't want to actually piece the checkerboard.
I have used black and white checkerboard borders around a number of quilts and they have always turned out special.

I totally agree with Pegleg...I was reading and thinking...why has no one said Red??? I think that would make it explode with life and then the border that Peg suggested would be great!
You seem to have gotten enough suggestions that you can make several quilts and try them all :lol:
