Default need advice on binding

Just finished this top . But trying to decide color for binding. Should I use the bright color strips that are border around the birds or solid Blue the color of the bluebirds.

Heres a picture with blue. Can't really take one with the mutiple strip because would have to make one,

Also Once the quilt is quilted I plan to add a yoyo center and a button in the center of each flower. I just laid the buttons on the flowers to take the picture

That is a cute quilt. The colors would be pretty for your binding but you may have too many seams

I love your idea of using all the bright colors for your binding. Your quilt is really cute.

I like to bind mine with the same fabric as my last border. Thus, the blue.

I like the blue -- it draws attention to the bluebirds in the center.

I really like the blue border and I think your idea of using all of the colors in the binding is a great idea I have made one scrappy binding and was really happy with it. It would look really sharp on this quilt

Multi-colour scrappy binding would look great on your wall hanging

that is so cute! I know it wasn't one of your options, but the yellow of his beak jumped out at me as a good possibility.
