Binding opinions
 

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

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....

In that case I would choose a Burgundy binding. I think the predominant color in the top is blue - so I would use burgundy to highlight it.

Beautiful quilt!!! I love quilts like that!!! I'm in the auditioning crowd to see what works. I also see the blue first - but then, blue is also my favorite color.

With the large amount of colors you have in this quilt, I would put a black binding on it. Black frames a quilt, especially one with a lot of colors.

I agree with this. The deep burgandy would look fantastic. You will get many answers but in the end the choice is yours.

With almost all my quilts I use Amish black for binding. It seems to frame the quilt nicely. Pretty quilt.

I think one of the darker olive greens would look nice :)

I, personally, never bind with a light color because the binding is where hands pull up the blanket during the night, etc. I think either a darker blue (doesn't have to be REALLY dark, just darker) or the darker off red in the quilt. I guess, because the blue is lighter I would use the red. The quilts I make get used and a darker binding helps keep them looking nice longer between washings.

The quilt is really lovely. Did you use a square backing material or just line them up?

i think blue....but obviously you could really use any color you wanted to.

I see it in blue to go with the blue quilting thread.

I'd use blue or purple on this one. :thumbup:
