I'd use that dark plum looking color. I just like binding in darker colors since the edges will have most hand contact and tend to soil over time.

I too would go with a dark color to frame it, the dark plum would be nice! Great job on the quilt, it looks nice!

Cheers!

I vote for darker, too. It would set it off nicely. Great quilt!

I like the green for a softer ending.
