    What about a red and white stripe on bias?

    What about a thin strip of the floral and then red for the binding?

    I think I would want to put on a border of the white about 1.5" then the floral about 2.5" and then bind in the red. But I love borders on a quilt.
    At first, I thought if only a binding and no borders I'd use the floral, but now I'm thinking the red would be the thing to make the quilt pop.
    So I say red for the binding. Yep, red it is.

    OK ladies, here it is, hot off the machine! (Give me a few minutes) I hope it looks better after it's washed.....

    This had better lay flatter after washing, then I may put another row of stitches on the white.

    my DH holding it up in my uncleaned living room. Everything has been put off in the house until I got this done.

    *Had a brain burp* I couldn't think how to miter the corners....I attached it on the back, then I had to bring it to the front. I haven't even pressed the binding after sewing it.

    Hey, that came out very cute! Thanks for sharing. As far as the corners, it is your quilt and you can make it any way you want! I think it gave it kind of an old-fashioned look.

    the bright red in the quilt would be grat....or if you don't want it to stand out try the blue.
