I would use a dark green or a beige.

I'd use blue to bring out the colors in the center.

I would use a small red print or calico to repeat the small printed "binding" around the Santa piece in the center.

I love the quilt, I think red.

It is beautiful! I think green.

I vote for red love the old fashioned santa

I would bind it in dark green, or black!

I would use a red!

At first glance I thought green, but having looked at it again, I'd go with red - such a cheery festive colour.

I would go with the red.

I would choose red from the green. Have you thought of using the color blue of the background as a binding. That would give it the finishing touch.

I would do red.....but either would look good.

If I were making this would use the red. This is really beautiful.

I vote for green.

I think I would go with green.

Just to throw a monkey wrench, I'd consider the cream fabric that you have in the piecing. Lovely quilt, btw!

I think a dark green would look great.

Actually I think that navy would be great.

This is out of left field but how about black ????

I can see the reason for the question. as I think it would look good in either color. Looking at it again, I think a dark green might do, since the squares in the border are mostly green. Love the old world Santa panels - in fact I have some old world Santa squares that are in a very special place, I'll have to look for them.

I would bind it in the darkest green from your border. It would act as a narrow frame for your wonderful quilt.

Dark green. I vote for dark green. It would frame it nicely and not distract the eye from the center.

Jane

Your darkest green color for the border, you have done a beautiful job designing, piecing and quilting, please show us when you have finished.

Yep, green, green, and green.

*** red ***

I vote for red.

I vote red too!

I vote for red.

I would use a dark green. I think it would be richer looking. BTW, beautiful quilt

Red would make it pop i think. I love Father Christmas. This is beautiful.

Strongly red.

Red would set things off really beautifully, but I think a red binding would be too narrow to make a strong enough contrast. If you were adding a border, I'd say red. For binding, I vote for green.

I would say the dark green!

I'm partial to the red.

Red will make the red more dominant, green will blend in.

The frame around the medallion is red, and I think the binding would reflect this color and make the center pop

I would use the green that goes around your center medallion.

I think green. Red would make those red rectangles jump out much more, pulling the eye around.

If you really love red you could add red piping, or bind it in red, but overall I think green would be classy and wonderful with this lovely project.

Green for an olde worlde look, red for modern. Your quilt is beautiful!

Dark green. Definitely dark green
