Binding Fabric--Should I use the dark or the medium ?? Would like opinions
#44
Use the dark or light for binding?
I think it will look nice using the dark blue (from the sashing) fabric for the binding but I know a lot of quilters prefer to use the fabric that is used in the outer border. I have 3 choices here--the dark blue from sashing, the medium blue small print from the border or the medium blue large floral print from the backing. I like all three but think the dark would make a nice "framing" to it.
This is only a portion of the quilt--it measures around 68x78.
Thanks.

I like the dark. Also you could make a flanged binding with just a small amount of the light showing & the dark as the primary. There's a tute on the board or Sharon scrumber(spelling?) has one on YouTube
