I'd use the gray/black check if I were doing it. Or maybe red. The blue is waaaaaaaaaaaay off IMO

I'd like red for the inner border, but it looks terribly FLASHY to me. A bid darker maybe?

OH and I love that your neutrals are tonals----------------hate stark white.

I'm leaning toward the yellow check fabric for the inner border. Thanks for everyone's input!

I agree that this isn't the right "red" for this quilt. I don't have enough of any other red that would work. I don't want to buy anything for this quilt.

I found another fabric in my collection. I didn't like it until I took a picture of it. This one might work.
