Taking votes for binding choice

What do you think?
I have solid yellow, solid red or the blue to finish this with.
Or something else?
Thanks ;)

I like red for the pop effect. It will be beautiful whichever you chose.

MacThayer 06-23-2013 09:44 AM

You've done a beautiful job of making the reds "pop" with that inner border. What I would do is concentrate on making other colors "pop". That blue and pink backing fabric would be perfect, IMHO. A nice border of that would make the blues and pinks "pop", as well as adding a cohesive element to the quilt.

red for sure

MartiMorga 06-23-2013 10:54 AM

did you see the flange binding? It was on here not too many days ago. And I know there is a tutorial that was linked here as well. I think using that method with red and yellow would be good.

aw, thanks for bringing this up! I actually thought that would be cool and then dismissed the idea as too complicated.
I didn't see the tutorial before so this is great!
I might give it a shot.!

Pink binding with a red flange would look good.

QUILTNMO 06-23-2013 11:20 AM

i think i would do red!

mike'sgirl 06-23-2013 05:02 PM

I vote for red, too.

Dina 06-23-2013 06:56 PM

I like the red. Cute quilt.

Treasureit 06-23-2013 07:03 PM

red
Yep that is my vote

RainyBC 06-23-2013 08:37 PM

Another red vote here! Very pretty quilt.

89a677 06-24-2013 03:10 AM

I think red would be best

piepatch 06-24-2013 03:48 AM

I vote for RED binding for sure!

lclang 06-24-2013 04:08 AM

Red to accentuate the inner red border!

bigsister63 06-24-2013 04:24 AM

Auddtion the colors. I think that the red may be too bright and pull your eyes to the red and away from the inner quilt blocks. Actually I vote for blue

NOELLA 06-24-2013 04:57 AM

red is not my colour , but, I do agree the red will work just fine, it will make the quilt pop!!
good luck.

Delta 06-24-2013 05:12 AM

I say Red to match the inside red and to help it really stand out.

Latrinka 06-24-2013 05:28 AM

I'd say red, but if you do the flange binding, I'd put yellow inside with red. I've done the flange binding once, not hard, and it looks really nice.

Ilovesewing 06-24-2013 05:41 AM

Definitely Red.

AZ Jane 06-24-2013 05:42 AM

I am generally drawn to a darker binding, without knowing the color of your blue, I vote red.

jude by the sea 06-24-2013 05:42 AM

I vote for red! Nice quilt!

cpcarolyn 06-24-2013 06:11 AM

Sweet quilt. I vote for pink or blue.

judykay 06-24-2013 06:26 AM

I almost always use the flange binding, it is not difficult at all and it seems to tie it. I love the quilt, it is very pretty and very well done.

sewbizgirl 06-24-2013 06:30 AM

I would use the blue for a border, then red binding. This repeats what you have going on in the center and gives balance and cohesiveness to the quilt.

mighty 06-24-2013 07:23 AM

I think red also!

bearisgray 06-24-2013 07:26 AM

Red, because it would echo the 'framing' used in the center.

matraina 06-24-2013 07:46 AM

I like the red. It just pops and with the red framing in the center, it would look great!

barny 06-24-2013 07:51 AM

I like the yellow. Whatever you do, it will be very pretty.

MargeD 06-24-2013 08:45 AM

Any of those would work, but perhaps a blue to go with the backing fabric. Very nice quilt.

nananurse 06-24-2013 12:35 PM

I think red too.. Love the quilt!

sengell 06-24-2013 01:51 PM

I like the red.

Jo Anne B. 06-24-2013 02:11 PM

I AM STILL LAUGHING ABOUT THE DOG! My vote is red or pink.

kathdavis 06-24-2013 03:04 PM

Red will finish it up nicely.

Ha
! I was wondering if no one noticed the inspector's behind :)
I did pink with red flange. I'll post a pic as soon as I get finished, I still have to quilt the center. Don't tell the quilt police I did the outside first, on this I'm working outside in :)

Yooper32 06-25-2013 04:37 AM

Red. It has to be red as that is what popped out of my mouth the minute I saw that crisp, sparkling quilt.

Donnamarie 06-25-2013 04:48 AM

My vote is for the red. I always try to use a dark/darker fabric for the binding since it gets the most use.

Normabeth 06-25-2013 05:50 AM

I vote for the red, it will frame the quilt very nicely

Nana Val 06-25-2013 05:53 AM

I think red will finish it beautifully

sulyle 06-25-2013 06:09 AM

Red definitely.
