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

the yellow check inner border is great

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.
