Default Red or green border?
This top is 45x45 so far. I want to add a skinny white border, then a wide border. I had planned on using the dark green, but I am short fabric, and have been unable to locate it online. What do you think about the red? I have never done a quilt with a lot of red.....kinda out of my comfort zone!
Pattern is Reflections of Winter by Jason Yenter.

The red really complements the red in the blocks. I agree that is best.

I like the red. Do you have enough of the really dark fabric to also make a skinny border next to the red one?

Pretty top! I like the green better. The green makes it look fresh and modern, the red makes it look more Christmasy to me.

Funny, I was thinking just the opposite -- narrow green border then red.

If you have seen Moda Solstic in person, can you tell me if the red is red-red?
