Red or green border?
 
2 Attachment(s)
This top is 45x45 so far. I want to add a skinny white border, then a wide border. I had planned on using the dark green, but I am short fabric, and have been unable to locate it online. What do you think about the red? I have never done a quilt with a lot of red.....kinda out of my comfort zone!
Pattern is Reflections of Winter by Jason Yenter.

I really like the red!

The red is the perfect match, of course I can't get enough red in a quilt, I love red. Anyway your quilt is lovely!

The red looks great. That is an impressive quilt.

The red really complements the red in the blocks. I agree that is best.

I like the red. Do you have enough of the really dark fabric to also make a skinny border next to the red one?

Pretty top! I like the green better. The green makes it look fresh and modern, the red makes it look more Christmasy to me.

i agree on the red. but you could do a red first and then an outside green

Wowza!! A stunning quilt and I think the red is spot on for this beauty!! Can't wait to see it all finished !

Funny, I was thinking just the opposite -- narrow green border then red.
