Binding opinions
 
1 Attachment(s)
I am having my quilt quilted and binded by someone. They are using a bluish color for the quilting. Opinions on the binding color.

My first thought when I saw the photo was use a red binding. Pick any of the reds in the quilt and I think it will look great. Hope this helps! Very nice quilt. The squares are so tiny!

The blue/purple jumps out at me.
That's a LOT of squares!! :thumbup:

Audition some of the fabrics with it once it's quilted.
Another possibility would be a scrappy binding, using an assortment from the quilt.

Nice postage stamp quilt!! Are those 1" finished squares?

I presume that there is no border.

If correct, I would bind in any of the darker colors.

But wondering what is on the back as well. Since the front can take *any* binding, you might just want to match it to the back so they play together well.

They are 2 1/2 inch squares. There isn't a border. The back will be muslin (spelling). They suggested red but I was thinking there was more burgundy then anything

You could do most any colour because of all the colours in the top. For me it would depend on what colour the room was that I was putting it in. I notice more blue than other colours on my screen.

For me the light blue jumps out at me. Nice quilt. Careful with a muslin backing. Make sure the colors don't show through.

Blue jumps out at me too.

I think the binding color should be whatever color YOU want to bring out....is it going to be a gift for some one....if so what colors do they prefer.....you could always go with black which would be a neutral....
