Stunning quilt. What is the name of the pattern, please. I know that it is a version of the LC. Is it just the placement of the fabric that makes it look different? I know that whatever fabric you use it will only enhance the whole quilt. Please show us when it's finished. BrendaK

The Dark would be great but if you are interested in a two color or 2 sided binding you can google Two sided binding and there is a tutorial on it. Basically you use a 1" strip for the front binding and a 2" strip for the back. Sew together length wise - fold and half - press or not, apply the bind with the 1" strip to the front of the quilt and when you turn it to the back fold it on the sewing line and stitch. The problem I have is getting the 2 different colors to line up when finishing the end. The last one I did, I finished with a straight lien rather than a diagonal. Hope this makes sense. You can pm me if you would like. I tried in on a short practice piece to get the idea. Have used it on several quilts.

I think darker or between medium and dark would frame it up nicely. I think the paler blue that you chose for backing is great for the back, but too light for the binding. It won't set off the piano key border as well as a darker one would. I don't think I'd do a flange binding for this one. It's got enough to grab your attention already...It's a gorgeous quilt!
