I like them both but I do like the first one better.

This would be my suggestion. Of course I love red, black and white combos. After a thin black between the red and the body of the quilt, then binding in black.

The first is my pick. What a spectacular quilt!!

I like the simplicity of the first one. The 2nd border seems to overpower the quilt. Picture that bold red around the entire quilt - it will pull your eye away from the hard work of the main quilt. But, that's my personal preference. Love the quilt !!

I love your quilt! I would use the second one, but perhaps make the border a bit narrower (about 2/3 what it is now)? Maybe even include a very narrow black border between the neutral and the asian? Or maybe some 1/4 inch piping? I feel the asian would be really set off with both sides bordered in black. Whatever you choose I am sure it will be beautiful!!

I like them both but I think I like #1 best. Very pretty quilt.

Have you considered using both colors? I think a black border, then the red and bind in black would be nice.

I like thequiltmama's suggestion. The quilt will be beautiful no matter what you choose.
