I need some advice about my Winter Quilt

Mirabelle I love you.  I have loved this Liberty print from the moment I set eyes on it in a patchwork book.  I searched high and low for it and found it over two years ago on etsy.  I still love it as much today as when I first saw it.

When the fabric arrived I knew I wanted to make a quilt with it, but I didn't really know what I wanted to do.  I was also very nervous about cutting in to the fabric because, after all, it is Liberty.  So it sat in my fabric cupboard and I would periodically get it out and look at it.

I think it may have been Mother's Day last year that inspiration finally struck.  My parents, sisters 2, 3 and 4 and also my brother all live in Sydney and we often meet in Berrima or Bowral on special occasions.  It was at My Place in Bowral that I spied a bundle of a few fat quarters of Rural Jardin by French General.  I bought it and on the car trip back from Bowral a plan began to form....

Besides the Mirabelle and Rural Jardin, there are other favourite Liberty prints and a couple of extra fabrics in there that I had in my cupboard.  But the focal point is the Mirabelle, and it features quite a bit in the quilt and also the outer border.

The Winter Quilt has been substantially complete for almost twelve months.  It has sat in my sewing room waiting for the borders to be added for an awfully long time.  Part of the reason was that I wasn't sure if it needed another strip added to it- resolved when I laid it out on my bed when Chelle came over one day and we talked it over.  Its handy having her help with that- I asked my husband and he is no help with that kind of question at all.  The other reason was that I didn't have any backing fabric for it.  Until that last week's Best Ever Spot Experience.

When I found EXACTLY what I wanted.  Such a rarity at the Spot.  I bought 3 metres each of the red and blue fabric and sewed it into strips for the backing.  I am so happy with this backing.

And now for my dilemma.  The binding.  I have three options and am undecided.  The inner border of the Winter Quilt is red- I sought advice last year on what the inner border should be- I was leaning towards blue- and Michelle said it must be red.  I am so glad I listened to her and went with the red because I love how it looks.  But what about the binding?

Here are the options:

A very thin red stripe.

A very thin dark blue and navy stripe.

And last but not least, the same red as the border.  Any input greatly appreciated.  I did ask my husband but I don't understand grunt.  And I am hoping to take the quilt to Fran this week to be quilted so, although I won't have the Winter Quilt on the bed for June 1st I am hoping to have it on there by Winter Solstice which I think is OK.
