I thought I'd show some pictures of the quilt.
Here 'tis with the current rejected binding:

Here 'tis with all the choices I'm auditioning. I'm finding that every one of them alone changes the character, so I'll likely use them all plus a strip of the light pink and light yellow...and maybe even leave in place a strip of the binding that I'm rejecting!
Another new rule for myself. Always hand sew the binding starting at the beginning strip, in case you decide to reject all but one strip of the binding!

And BTW, if you find yourself saying, oh Teresa, I like the original best! Well that's good news for me. But if the time is after, say, oh 11:am PST, then don't say it, even if you're thinking it because I've already started ripping! ;-).
The other thing, I've learned, btw, is on scrappy quilts made of big blocks, don't shortcut by saying, oh, I can get 2 blocks out of this strip. If I'd used 20 different fabrics, I'd have had a much easier time placing the blocks. Now I've ended up having to put two of practically the same kind together. Oh well. Live and learn.
Once this quilt has vomit, spit, mud, grass stain, and who knows what else on it, it won't matter ;-).
