I like it but perhaps you could applique a few flowers below the house block. that would make it work better. Oh , the binding. the brown looks best. just not plaid.

Your choice is terrific, imho. As far as the binding, I love the whimsy of the plaid and I love the richness of the dark brown.
tough choice to make. For myself I would use the plaid for a friend I would use the dark brown, 'cause they just wouldn't understand the plaid.

Love the whole quilt! Please let us know which way you choose.
peace

I agree with TexasSunshine. I think a dark blue like in the flowers would be a great binding color.

I like the rusty orange plaid on myself. It gives it that homey country look.

My vote is the brown also. The plaid blends right in with the print and you don't really see it.

I love this quilt! I especially like the floral print--can't you just see that as wallpaper in the house. As for the binding, what's your mood and taste, or your friend's taste. Brown has more votes, but red plaid is more whimsical. I think either one is fine.
