Great fabric choices-really frames your Santa beautifully, I love the Father Christmas style Santas! You're way ahead of me on the seasonal projects, I've got to get busy! Red or green would look great, but I think green would allow your Santa to really be the focus.

Great pieced panel! I think a dark green would look richer.

If it were mine, I would bind it in red. It is a wonderful piece. You done a fantastic job on it.

What a lovely quilt! I would bind it in dark green so Santa would remain the focus

I agree with the green! Red would be pretty but very distracting from Father Christmas.

I think the red. Or, you could go with the beige.

I like the dark green idea for a binding. I think it would lend a more serious tone for Father Christmas. Red would be pretty but a little frivolous for the theme. Lovely, lovely piece!

Green would frame the quilt without sending your eye to the edge of the quilt. A very nice project.
peace
