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.

I'm not sure which one I like best..they're both nice. But I do love the quilt :)

I like the simplicity of the first one also. Great job.

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.

I like both but am partial to the red.

What a stunning quilt....I like the simplicity and beauty of the first one

looks mid century modern with the black border - love it!
