Default Binding opinion for a loud quilt

Okay, so this is a really in your face, bold, big design quilt, and I'm thinking of a black binding for this one. I do have enough of all the other colors for binding as well, but thought the black framed it best, what say you?

The black would be fine.

I think I might do white binding and let those striking big blocks float on their own.

I personally would do the blue or gray. Black would work, so comes down to choice.

I think I would opt for either the blue or the grey. Since there isn't already black in the quilt, I think black binding might feel a bit heavy or dramatic and detract from those lovely blocks.

I love your quilt!

I like the white binding idea. Don't bring any other color into it. Keep it clean and fresh!

I think it's a matter of personal choice. I'd like the black binding as it frames the quilt nicely and the colors are a great contrast to it.

All I can say is WOW, look at all those perfect points. I vote for grey, but actually anything would work. Lovely quilt.

Neat top! I also vote for grey but it would depend on if the grey looked good with my backing fabric.
