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 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.
