    I think one of the darkest reds or a black would be best for the binding....you don't want to take away from the quilt with a border but you do want it to stand out and a very dark binding will do that.

    I just recently finished that in orange and green, it is queen size without borders- and plenty large enough. If you need it king size, borders will do it. I love your colors. is going to be really really gorgeous when done - heck, it is now.

    I don't want to say I told you so...but I told you so! I am one of those red people and it's gorgeous. I love it! Can't wait to see the finished piece.

    Moonrise thank you so much for letting help you with this quilt and for letting us follow your progress. I think a deep deep red, almost black binding would be prefect.

    Honestly I am not a fan for red and when I saw your fabrics some time ago I did not even reply. I am amazed, can't believe it came out so beautifully. Congratulations and I say again your quilt is going to be very very stunning. A dark red seam I suggest.

    I think one of your brighter medium colors would give it a bounce and really accent the darker colors on the outside. Beautiful and I wish I had the courage to make one. Maybe this winter when I am house bound.

    Fantastic quilt, looks huge! IMHO I think I would bind it in a dark chocolate or black. Its looks like you have a little bit of chocolate color in there.
