I like the first one, the black. It makes the rose squares float

I like the small black, but I'd also try that small black followed by the larger red boarder. It is going to be a knock out quilt!

I think they both look great. I'd look at what the edge of the quilt will be up against. A bedskirt? Carpet? . Which looks best with that?

Your quilt is stunning. The fabric is beautiful. I like the idea of a narrow black border next to the quilt AND then a border of the red. Beautiful work!

I love the black, it seems to intensify the 3D affect of the red center blocks. Very pretty quilt, dramatic in a very pleasing way.

I think a small black border and then the red and bind in black would make a beautiful frame for the inside of this quilt. Beautiful fabric and a very nice job. I can't wait to see what you decide, but you can't lose since looks like the opinions are 50/50 on this. Good luck.
