I love the red.

I like the red for the holidays!

Black

I vote black. It frames the table runner.

I would do black.

Red will help to accent the other red in it

I would use the black. I have this pattern and have made quite a few of this tablerunner. I love the pattern and it is quick. Nice job.

Black, and nice table runner!

I'd go with the black. Red is one of my favorite colors, however, here the black contains the design and red makes me think it should continue. JMHO! Beautiful table runner!

Since it is for Christmas I like the red but it is a matter of what you like best because the black looks ok too! Very pretty.
