Thread: Binding opinions

I think the binding color should be whatever color YOU want to bring out....is it going to be a gift for some one....if so what colors do they prefer.....you could always go with black which would be a neutral....

Beautiful quilt!!! I love quilts like that!!! I'm in the auditioning crowd to see what works. I also see the blue first - but then, blue is also my favorite color.

With almost all my quilts I use Amish black for binding. It seems to frame the quilt nicely. Pretty quilt.

I think one of the darker olive greens would look nice

I, personally, never bind with a light color because the binding is where hands pull up the blanket during the night, etc. I think either a darker blue (doesn't have to be REALLY dark, just darker) or the darker off red in the quilt. I guess, because the blue is lighter I would use the red. The quilts I make get used and a darker binding helps keep them looking nice longer between washings.

The quilt is really lovely. Did you use a square backing material or just line them up?

i think blue....but obviously you could really use any color you wanted to.

I see it in blue to go with the blue quilting thread.

I'd use blue or purple on this one.
