I am wanting to put a 2" focus border on and really am stuck as to what color. I think (but not sure) that the outer border will be black. I could use a few opinions on this. If you think another color or tone would be better, I'm open to suggestions

A little lighter olive

A deeper olive

Deep red with black

My eye is drawn to the red, but I also like the green on the left. I don't think fabric on the right has enough contrast. Cute doggie!!! Looks like he picked green!

I think the red has the most contrast. I like it the best. The green on the left would be good but i think the red stands out more. Do you want that border to blend in some or jump out at you? The green on the left goes well with the sashings. I vote red.

I've been thinking maybe going with the red, too. Do you think a 4" black outer border would be a good choice?

I have always loved the red with black and white blocks. It gets my vote.
