Need help with binding
#31
If the quilt is going to be used and not shown, I would vote for a darker color, so it wouldn't show dirt as much. If you plan to show it, then the lighter color would make it pop more.
You say you have trouble with colors, but the colors you chose for the quilt are lovely. I think you did a great job!
As you can see, everyone has an opinion, and well, they are like belly buttons, every has one. But as good of a job as you did with the stars, I say trust yourself. You obviously have a better eye than you think.

I'd go with the darker blue because a lighter binding would take your eye away from the beautiful quilt. The edge of quilt is sometimes dragged on the floor and a darker fabric wouldn't show the dirt as much. It's really pretty.

My Guild tells us to use a dark color. The thinking is that you can see where the quilt ends and the wall starts.
I have followed this advice and am happier with it than the ones which I bound in a light color, before joining Guild and knowing what to do. I also think the darker color sets off the quilt better; wall hanging or bed quilt.
