The stripes look like they were made for this quilt! It's going to be so cute when done!

The stripes definitely match color-wise, so if the quilt were for me I'd say stripes, but I wonder if a wee one would rather have the clouds? Sorry, that wasn't very helpful was it?

This is exactly my quandry. I thought of the two fabrics, the clouds look more juvenile but the stripes matched better. I wonder if I could compromise and use the clouds for the back and the stripes for the binding? Hmmm...

That's darling. I also would opt for the stripes but your idea of using both is a good one. It's going to be a wonderful quilt no matter what.

I LOVE striped bindings, especially if the stripes are on the bias. This plan gets my vote.

I would use the stripes and use the cloud fabric for a different quilt.

The stripes are perfect with the quilt. Will you be binding the quilt with the backing fabric as well? I think it will look terrific!

I’ve heard that babies see bright colors better. I like the stripes personally.

Good point...if I'm not mistaken black and red are the best colors they see at and early age.

It's going to be darling!

My vote is also stripes.
