Thank you Sync! I feel that you are right.

I agree with Tartan. I wouldn't use white because it shows soil more and I wouldn't want to wash it any more than necessary!

Well I know I am going to be odd man out here, but in your one photo I can see something red peeking from behind and I think it looks fabulous. You may want to consider a solid red binding in a rather subdued tone of red. Not fire engine red but something that is leaning towards brick red. It might be a good option if you can't find a blue match. I would steer away from white because the binding/edge of the quilt will show everything and white will soil and stain more easily.

My vote is for white.

How about a white with small blue polka dots? The dots would distract a little if the whites did not match.

Lovely quilt. I like the idea of a plaid or checked binding with colors from your quilt top.

It's beautiful, I like Tartan's idea....but go with your heart on this one.

I would do a white. More in line with time frame.

A lovely quilt. So glad you had it quilted to enjoy and remember your Grandmother. I think if you can find a blue close to the blocks it would be great. However, colors change from year to year so that might not be possible. Even a white (or the light color) if you can find one that matches nicely. My next choice would be a blue print that comes close so that it does not detract from the quilt itself. Would love to see the finished quilt.

I would stay away from either solid blue or white, because you would never be able to match the color perfectly. I would choose a small patterned fabric in blue and white (or blue, white and an accent color) in a pattern that would have been used in the sixties when the quilt was pieced. I'm sorry I don't know what quilting fabrics were used in the sixties, not than I'm not old enough, but because I wasn't quilting then. I'm sure a Google search would help. It's a lovely memento of your grandmother.
