Both borders are beautiful, but I think I like the narrow black border/binding. It's simple, but elegant and makes the blocks stand out more, but the read is also pretty. Now hope that helps, but seriously, I liked the first one better, as having the strip of background and then the black makes the blocks float. Great fabric by the way.

I've made the BQ before--as well as the fairly new BQ3.

Love your BQ3...very pretty. These quilts look so difficult, when in reality they are fairly easy. Nice job on yours!

If it were me, I would put a small 3 inch border of the cream, then a 1 inch of the black to frame, then a larger border of the red. But that is me. Whatever you do will be gorgeous. Beautiful quilt. :D :D :D
So when you look at the first picture just add the red after the black and then the binding in black.
