They're both nice, but I think I prefer the first one (the plain black), as it doesn't demand any attention to itself, but frames the quilt very nicely. Beautiful quilt!

Second pulls it all tog,go with what makes you happy!

Have you made a decision yet?

I like both.
Actually, I would use a red that matched, but not that same print.
It looks gorgeous in the blocks, and I love the quilt with the color, but not so much of the same print.
Without it, the quilt doesn't look quite finished to me, although I can see why someone would say it's elegant without it.
One way is bare...the other way is close to overdone...lol, now I am contradicting myself. I said I liked them both.
ok, leaving it up to you...it's straining my brain, but I LOVE the colors! :XD:

I would do a narrow red and a wider black.

Lots of suggestion being given here. I'm adding another one. I would do a black border the same width as the black in your squares. I think such large bold block deserve a bolder frame to finish it, then the red floral (which I also assume is your side drop so can be in what ever width you need for the drop and bind in the black or the red floral.

I think the second brings the richness of the whole come together. :thumbup:

Great quilt - it's lovely either way but for on a bed I like the suggestion of a narrow black border (same as in the blocks) then the red print border for the drop. Aren't you sorry you asked??? LOL

I like the 2nd one and I would add a black framing border between the red and cream and use them both, then finish with the black binding pulling it all together.

#2 then the black binding.
