I'm new to quilting also but I would have the beige part equal distance from the black all around --or--
large on the bottom with the names and wedding date.
Whatever--congratulations on your work

Beautiful job Dutchgirl! I like it just as it is, & I vote for black binding too. You could put their wedding date & this year's anniversary date on your label on the back. :D

I do head silhouettes for decorations at the Kindergarten Grads and they are just so special.

It is beautiful as is but Mamagus has a really good idea... Esp if it is a current silhouette and they appear to be looking into the past..

Leave it as is since it is just perfect, and I agree bind in black. Oh would love to see there faces when they open it. Congrates to the newly weds 40 years is a mile stone these days.

After looking at it some more I agree with barnbum they look like they are walking out of the quilt the way it is. I guess I didn't notice that the first time. That is cool.
