When I took my very first quilting class, the teacher said the binding is the picture frame and it should act as an ending or frame to the quilt/picture. If you had used red, it would look as though there was more to come.

She also warned against using a very light binding unless the entire quilt was primarily light. In this case, she suggested selecting the darkest of the light fabric for the binding. White binding was a "no-no".

Beautiful quilt and I think the black binding just finishes your quilt off nicely.

I love the Black Binding. Really sets off the red border.
I can imagine it was time-consuming to do the border but it looks to be worth it. Love the quilt in all ways!
