I am toying with the idea of a border. The one I had in mind is a twisted ribbon border. I am not sure I have enough of the red left. If I do what color would I use for the back of the ribbon? I was thinking the back of the red fabric but there is not enough contrast. I could just do a plain narrow red border.
I have a bright pink from that fabric line but that doesn't thrill me. In fact I have a light pink to go with but still not too sure about that either.
I do have a blue and can go with a red, white and blue theme. I might even have a dark blue and could do a two tone blue.
This quilt is currently earmarked for charity. What are your thoughts?
Thanks for your input!

Well, I love the top, the red and white is spectacular. Not a fan of the pink either. if you want the red/white/blue theme the blue would be good. But I kinda think that a red with a shade lighter or darker would look good.
Nice quilt top. Myself, I'm liking more and more quilts without border. Besides, you can call them done a lot quicker! ;) Catch you later!
Great quilt! What about the backside of the red. Sometimes that's a good shade lighter.
Gray. Gray can be a neutral to play with red. Or you could match black with gray too.
red white blue always works...plus i am a blue girl anyway....jmho...
