Red or blue would work for me. Both have merits for this quilt. I would not, however, use a scrappy binding for this.

Red would be nice - but I think a dark blue would frame it nicely and not detract from the reds.

IMHO, I would do it in blue.

I would use the red, you did a great job saving this quilt top.

I am different, I like the idea of a slightly darker blue than the border you have. Like the med blue. I think the red is going to detract your eye from the focus in the middle.

I would either use the blue of the outer border, or my preference, the red. Good luck. It was definitely worth finishing and you did a great job putting the puzzle pieces together for a nice final project.

I would try to find something similar to the mid blue, and not worry if it wasn't "perfect."

I would do the binding in either the border fabric of blue or the inner border red. Either way it's a great
country look. Hope you enjoy after all the work you've put into it.

Faux piped border (red piping, blue binding) would look spectacular and echo the last two borders. Also makes it so much easier to machine sew down the binding. Here's a great tutorial. http://www.thequiltshow.com/os/blog.php/blog_id/5489

What do you think about navy blue as a binding?
