I vote for white, then skinny red flange, then the blue. If you had enough of the floral then, instead of the blue do the floral.
Any way you do it, it looks nice!
Good Luck,
Cat

I really like the combination but might tend to make the red the wider border depending on where I wanted to use the quilt.

I agree with dakotamaid.

Have you tried a smaller border of red, followed by a wider border of blue? Red for 'pop', then blue to calm things down.

Love your quilt and I just had to play with it. Does this appeal?

IF the quilt was for me or someone special, the sample above would be WONDERFUL!!!!

As a donation quilt, I'd go with the only the blue border. The blue border would make the quilt very PRETTY!

Any of the suggested borders you chose will work PERFECTLY!!!
