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

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 like the deep red best...but then..thats just my opinion as I prefer red with the B/W

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 like the red too! :-)

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

Yes....4" would look great!

I pick the red, too!!! And the 4inch black border :D :D :D

also red here!! And 4" sounds right to me.

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

Okily dokily. Red it is. Thanks so much for your help everyone.

Good, red is the best choice, in my opinion!!
:D :D :D :D :D

I like the red.

i say red. :D

Yeah for the red! Do you have the name of the collection that red is from? It's gorgeous!

All I know is that the red/black fabric is from 2004 Blank Textiles. I have held onto it because I love the deepness of the red.

I vote for the red, too. The others kind of 'dull' the black and white down, while the red makes it sparkle.
