Great job on your first quilt it looks wonderful!!! I would probably bind in the black because the binding gets the most wear and tear and gets the dirtiest. I would love the look of the contrast of the pink but would go black for that reason. I usually go a little darker for my bindings.

I also wanted to get opionions on what color I should do the binding in pink or the black border. I would love some other opinions.

if this was you're first quilt, you have real talent. i am not an expert but i'm telling you, you are really good!
