I almost always like dark on the edge to stop the design.

ditto on the darker fabric

I will almost always use a dark color for binding. Reasons? #1 - dark colors serve as a frame for your work #2 - bindings get a lot more touching, tugging and pulling than the rest of the quilt, so tend to get dirtier faster #3 - stains won't show as bad on bindings (little ones tend to have the dirtiest fingers at times!

I like the dark as well. It frames your quilt beautifully.

GJoyce 10-01-2011 07:34 AM

Personaly I think the light tanish looking would be best. Wouldn't draw attention away from all the work you put into the squares you have done such a nice job on. Can't tell by the picture too much but if the dark maroon is really dark that would be great also. Thought of black as a nice frame but don't see that there.

RDM 10-01-2011 07:34 AM

The darker one is my choice to frame your quilt.

nnewman 10-01-2011 07:58 AM

I usually tend to do the darker on binding for looks and for keeping it clean.

My suggestion that you take a strip of fabric from each print or color you put in your quilt and sew the strips together for the binding. I did that with one of mine and believe it came out just fine. Looks good.

Finishes it off nicely and won't show wear and tear like the white would.
