Sigh.
I always do.
Look how great the lightest lights look right next to the dark squares on that center diagonal. They're GLOWING.
I think a nice wide dark border will just make the whole center sparkle. It's like midnight.
However, conversely, if you used the lightest light on the border, you'd get a whole North Pole frigid feel to it. Which could be very interesting.
So either extreme, not some value in the middle because that would just muddle the whole quilt. One border. Wide.
And matching, not contrasting, binding.
imnsho. ;-) :mrgreen: ;) :mrgreen:
I agree with all! Your quilt is fabulous. I just love the contrasting darks and lights. I might even be tempted to audition a beautiful larger floral if I could find one in all or mostly blues. It probably doesn't exist - I always dream up the perfect fabric, and then when I go shopping I can't find it. Guess I need to become a fabric designer.
