If it were me I would use one of the dark blues to bind with. I think it would look really good on both sides.

Gorgeous quilt !!!! Several good options listed above, but I had to let you know how much I love your quilt! Please
post when done so I can see what you chose to do.

Darker, absolutely. Beautiful quilt.

I prefer darker fabrics for bindings, since the edges of a quilt can get dirtier faster, but in this case, your backing fabric is dark enough to be a border. So, I would use any color from the darkness of the backing to the darkest in your quilt top (same general color) as the binding.

Dark blue binding.

I would also go with one of the medium dark to dark blues in the front of the quilt. It won't clash with the backing and will frame it nicely and set off the beautiful quilting you plan. Perhaps you could choose a quilting thread to match the binding to set it off even more.

I think just the dark binding would look perfect for both sides.

Stunning quilt! And a dark binding gets my vote, too..I think it'll look just fine with a light backing, after all you have all shades in the quilt, and they're beautiful together!
Please post a pic when it's finished, I could look at it over and over!

Stunning quilt. What is the name of the pattern, please. I know that it is a version of the LC. Is it just the placement of the fabric that makes it look different? I know that whatever fabric you use it will only enhance the whole quilt. Please show us when it's finished. BrendaK

I agree with the darker binding, especially if this is a quilt to be used. Bindings always show the most wear and the darker fabric would show less.
