I would vote thin white border, thicker outer border and binding in red.

That's a good idea too! Thanks!

I would do a small red border, then a large white border with solid red hunter star cornerstones. Your quilt is beautiful. Your points appear perfect. Great job.

How did you do your Hunter's Star? Did you use Deb Tucker's Rapid Fire Hunters Star tool? That makes creating this pattern a breeze! Check out her you tube video for this tool...........I am on my 3rd one........so many different layouts!

When I look at it, the thin white and wider red sounds good.

for help deciding about your border, you might look at the versions of this quilt in the gallery: http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...bums17745.html

There are lots of different border treatments shown there
