I would use the light blue. I think it would look great by picking up the light blue in your quilt.

I would use the same coloured material as the last border...

I vote for the dark blue. I think the cream would take away from the lovely design of the stars. My 2 cents.

Food for thought - I don't use light color bindings, because they show wear and dirt quicker than medium or dark bindings. I usually try to match the last border - unless the binding is the final 'frame' for the quilt. Your quilt is beautiful!

I would use the darkest blue fabric for the binding. The cream will look great. It's all according to what look you want. :D

I think I would use the cream color. I love the quilt.

I love your quilt and I love blues. You did a fantastic job on it. I think you made the right choice if the person you made it for loved it.

Did you take a pic of it before you gave it away? Would love to see how it turned out.

Beautiful quilt. Did you post a picture of it with the binding on?

Sorry I did not take a pic of it with the binding on it. I will ask the owner of the quilt to bring it so I can take a pic of it. I enjoy all of you so much. I lost my mother 4 yrs ago (she was only 53) to breast cancer and I have really missed having someone to ask questions to. She was so talanted at sewing and quilting. I really wish I would have spent more time with her when she was able to sew. So thank you all for your support and advice.
