Beautiful quilt! Good job! I would go with a narrow red border rather than piping, if it were me. I definitely think the red would look great!

Where would you put the piping? Or do you mean red binding maybe.. Your quilt is beautiful, and more red in my opinion is always good..

No one will care about the puckers when they are all wrapped up in that geogeous quilt done with love. Great job!

Yes, red would be a great idea. This is a very handsome quilt. When I started quilting I had problems with puckers which were resolved by additional pressing, both as I went along and before quilting. That might help you too. My teacher said to check alignments after every seam, at least to start, then fix anything that needs it. I don't know if that would help also.
