Depends on how large you want the quilt to be. If you do black border, you could then piece your binding to incorporate all your fabrics, including the red.

looks fabulous!
definitely a wide black border [6"?]
{wider than the outer most border already on]

I would just bind it in black. I think it's great looking as is.

Me too, I agree!

Next would be a very narrow red strip, done as a flange.

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.

This great quilter explained so much better than I can what I was visualizing!!!!! Thanks for helping me out!

Ditto on the black border. Excellent quilt. Great design and fabric choices!

If you are going to use another print for the binding, I'd definitely recommend that you put a black outer border on first. Its looking great!
