    Either one is lovely depending on the look you are trying to achieve. I lean toward the simplicity of #1.

    Can you try a narrow black border inside the red also? I think it would frame it nicely and keep it clean as in the first picture.

    I like it both ways, whichever one you pick will make it more gorgeous.

    The red is too much and takes away from the cem]ntre of the quilt. However, I think you need more than just the narrow black edge as the quilt needs a border in my opinion. Perhaps a a mixture of black and red mottled or striped, and then the narrow black border. The quilt is a stunner and shows off the fabric very nicely.
