Just a suggestion, do a small red border, then the flower print.

I agree. Going to be pretty. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

My thinking exactly.

I think a dark border will make it stand out more. I did a Christmas tube quilt and decided to SID. It turned out great and the borders were free motion quilted. I think with the bias it is better to SID. It follows well without having to turn too often. I think its beautiful. I love the colors. Happy quilting!
