I agree. I think you should use the medium colors or something like them.

I am always a black fan. Use a small black border then a dark red outer border or a large print red floral outer border.

I would do the beige border with the red binding. Looks great.

I agree.

How about a plain border of aqua made of a new strip that is the color of the darkest color aqua part of the print, in the darkest color aqua strip?
then bind it in red or light?

I agree, no border is needed.

Don't know how big it is, but if it is a good size, single, double or larger, I would just bind it with the red. If you must have a border, use the grey then bind with red. To me, the red is the fence and the other colors are the sheep, cows, and horses.
