I am currently finishing 3 quilts for kids. I just find a solid color fabric in my stash for the binding. the whole idea is those kids who are really ill get a handmade quilt to make them feel better. The quilts are washed. sometimes daily by the hospital laundry so need to be able to take a beating. My friend has seen them caught in wheelchairs, run over, and other accidents. I may not love the colors QFK chose, but it's not for me. Kids don't care if the colors they like go together or not. They just like the colors. Just make sure your binding is sturdy so it will stand up to all the "love" it gets.
