Yes, this is gorgeous! And then either red or blue for binding to finish it all off.
That is what I would do. It is gorgeous.

I agree with a small inner border, but would also love to see what it looked like with the border flipped so the wider red part is next to the red on the inside.

That is an amazing border. I'm with those who suggest a small inner border to separate, but really, it's gorgeous and the whole quilt just sings. Amazing!

A very narrow one inch inner border in yellow, or a small black and white check would make it pop

I agree with the others, a narrow inner border would set it off, and maybe see what the border looks like flipped, but it will be fantastic. I have never seen a print like that and I LOVE it. (I assume the border is printed and not paper pieced???)

I agree --narrow border first, but that is really eye-popping!

Your border is gorgeous - - paper pieced, I presume. I agree with the others above, small narrow border first and then you gorgeous border.

I made the border out of the left over pieces around the block panels. I hate to waste any fabric.I've also put a picture on here with a small black border between the red.

I totally agree! I was just scrolling down to write this.
I agree that a narrow border first would make the center pop. I think I would choose black to bring out the black in some of the blocks.
