[quote=Kas] You could do what I am about to do. Cut a 1" strip and press it in half. Lay the raw edge toward the edge of the quilt and baste it a shy 1/4" from the edge. Then bind as usual with the red or the blue. Hubby will have the white and it will set the binding off.
I think I'll try the small strip of white, then put maybe the red for the binding. The floral was my first choice, but I think the red will be better. I really thought about giving it to a bachelor uncle (he bought a box of yarn for a friend, and it was on top of this fabric, and he gave the fabric to me when he found it). I may keep the quilt though, and give him the next one.
Thank you all for the suggestions. I just love the encouragement you all give! I hope to have this quilt finished in the next day or two. I'll post pictures when it's finished.
