    Pretty quilt! If you do any red on the border, it will change the configuration of the red "lines" you already have. I love 1/4" of color and then a border strip. I'm wondering about a 1/4" of the light blue and then a couple inches of the navy. That's when it is fun to play with the fabric. Whatever you choose, it will still be pretty!

    i think the red border will make the quilt look more like the asian theme

    Whatever you decide, this quilt is really pretty, but the red will bring it out.

    really like the idea of the flange put in first, with the navy and the red binding or the navy binding, I would put the flange in red. great quilt, love the fabrics

    If you have more of the red that you used to do the large sash, I would use the same size for the red border. I also vote for red, blue and red binding. Looks really nice so far!

    Your idea of red, navy, red binding is perfect. Great quilt and fabrics. Thanks for sharing.

    I'd say a red border, then a wider blue border would look great. Red binding to finish it off!
