    I would use white. It would make everything stand out.

    As I scrolled down the picture of your quilt my first impression was use a blue - a bit darker than what the quilt color is. I think that would frame it in nicely.

    I try to put dark binding on my quilts so they don't show the dirt so fast, but it also depends on the quilt. I would say the blue in your case.

    Isuggest the red, think that would make a great binding
    for your quilt. Betty Lee

    I think red binding to match your red on the quilt and the floral as your backing....Your quilt is really pretty!

    I would use the flower fabric for the binding as it needs more contrast to the plain darker fabrics.
