Then finish off with solid black again, 3 or 4 times the width of the sashing. Bind in the same black.

This way the red strip will just gently float in as part of the border, yet provide some punch while not detracting from the overall focus of the main part of the quilt.

i like this suggestion.

I would add a fat black boarder...maybe 2-3 inches bigger than the current outer part. but I like big boarders. :)

it is pretty awesome!

I agree -black -several inches. Very pretty.

Personally?? If I had the black with white dots I would use that. The straight black seems too plain for this busy quilt.

Also I agree... THis is a beautiful quilt.

Like it so far. I would do the binding in black.

Your quilt is very pretty as is, but I think another black border would finish it off beautifully.

I agree with the black border, but I do not agree with the "on hand" fabric for the binding. My opinion is that it would put too much busy-ness into the quilt. I believe the black border 3 inches wide and the black binding, would m,ake the blocks pop.
