Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I am having my quilt quilted and binded by someone. They are using a bluish color for the quilting. Opinions on the binding color.
My first thought when I saw the photo was use a red binding. Pick any of the reds in the quilt and I think it will look great. Hope this helps! Very nice quilt. The squares are so tiny!

The blue/purple jumps out at me.
That's a LOT of squares!!
Audition some of the fabrics with it once it's quilted.
Another possibility would be a scrappy binding, using an assortment from the quilt.

Blue jumps out at me too.
Nice postage stamp quilt!! Are those 1" finished squares?
I presume that there is no border.
If correct, I would bind in any of the darker colors.
But wondering what is on the back as well. Since the front can take *any* binding, you might just want to match it to the back so they play together well.
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.

They are 2 1/2 inch squares. There isn't a border. The back will be muslin (spelling). They suggested red but I was thinking there was more burgundy then anything
In that case I would choose a Burgundy binding. I think the predominant color in the top is blue - so I would use burgundy to highlight it.Originally Posted by wanttobe

I agree with this. The deep burgandy would look fantastic. You will get many answers but in the end the choice is yours.

You could do most any colour because of all the colours in the top. For me it would depend on what colour the room was that I was putting it in. I notice more blue than other colours on my screen.
