    I like it as is....without adding borders....love the "red". I would stop here and put the dark blue binding on it.

    Karen, I am so glad you continued with this. It is gorgeous. I'd go with red setting triangles, a thin (maybe 1" wide) dark blue border and then the paisley, perhaps or a different blue. Whatever you decide on, you have a winner.

    I like the paisley. I think a dark blue would be adding a new blue that may not match and I think will fade. I hate when blues fade. The paisley is great, and you have it.

    I think that would be great, maybe use the paisley in between the red and dark blue, or on the edge... very nice (don't want to say pretty if it is for a man).

    My thoughts exactly. It will be perfect.

    I'd put the blue paisley around it and bind it in a red. It really is looking great, he is going to love it.

    A nice dark navy blue will be what I would use. That will "stop" the action going in in the main body of the quilt "picture" and act as a frame.
