    I am thinking you do not need another border. Just bind in red.

    are you wanting to add a border to increase the size of the quilt? if so maybe use the stripe with a smaller solid border on the outside of it to stop the design and frame the quilt- red or black would work- or use like a 1" red-4"stripe-1"red===something along those lines- depending on how much you need to add to bring your quilt up to the size you want it to be.

    To me the stripes take away from the quilt. Prefer the red binding.
