I agree with the others about auditioning fabrics before you decide. A picture of the quilt would help. If I have a border that I want to be in the background and let the quilt be the focus, I would use the same material that you used for the border for the binding. I make my binding 2.25" because I do hand stitching to the back of the quilt for a sharper more professional look.
