Beautiful quilt!!

I like the idea of having a small black inner border than then the red outer border. The black stops the pattern and gives the eye a place to rest and the red continues to draw the colors and theme of the quilt to the borders.

#1. Your quilt is gorgeous.

Ok, I'm going to make this complicated. I'd do a narrow beige border (background fabric) then another narrow red border, then a wider beige border and probably bind it in black. I know... that's a lot of borders.
sorry.

I like the black narrow border.

I like the first one. It really lets the red fabric stand out. When you have the red border added, it takes away from the specialness of the red blocks, it draws your eyes to the large red border making the red not special anymore.

I agree with Rusty Quilter, the second one makes it pop. Nice job.
