I would like to see about a two inch black border and then another wider border of red.

Thanks a bunch! I think that's the ticket! Black, then the orangey red that's in there, then striped binding! Light bulb flashing!

And don't forget to quilt paw prints all around for a fun finish!

Maybe a gold small border followed by a larger brown border with striped binding~

Ha! I thought it looked good with the thin black and thick brown border already. Then I read your message and realized it was the wood work behind your work!

I kind of like the look it has with how you have it pictured. Do a narrow dark brown border and a lighter brown or tan then bind with the stripe fabrice. Binding with a bias binding would look awesome. Anxious to see what you decide!

I like the quilt a lot! There are so many possible combinations for the border. I like the idea of a narrow dark brown, then a wider red orange and make bias binding with the stripe. Any way you do it, it's going to look great!

Red/Orange for the outter border, perhaps the dark color for a thin inner border and the stripe fabric cut on the bias for the binding. Cute quilt!
