what binding?
 

I just finished this quilt top and I am thinking about binding. I can't decide if I should use the green for the binding or not. I am afraid using the yellow for binding will show dirt too much

What do you guys think?

Cute Quilt! .... Looks like John Deere meets New Holland!

You have a good sense of colour and design ... go with what looks good to you IRL.
The colours do not really show well in this pic so hard to know.

That being said, my first thought would be to bind with the same as the outer border.
The yellow would cause you to look between the two yellows, which would be fine if there was something there you wanted to draw attn to, but not the case this time round. You want to keep the focus on all of those JD squares in the centre.

Like I said ... go with what looks good to you!

That's so pretty! I'm inclined to say the blue in the border, or green, but not the yellow. It would change the look you have.

I agree with the blue or green.

My first thought was to bind it in the blue.

Beautiful quilt. I would use the blue, it would not change the look.

I agree with the blue the same as the border. Very cute quilt!!!

my first choice is the same as the blue... but you didn't offer blue as a choice, so i'd go with the green.

I would use the same blue as the outer border. I really like your quilt :)

I would do the blue. Second choice would be the plaid. It's a great quilt!

Like some others, my first idea would be to use the blue from the border if you have enough left. Cute quilt!

Looks like you’ve got plenty of advice but I wanted to add what a nice quilt...the yellow for the sashing was a perfect choice.

Any color that you would use for the binding will get dirty. I would go for the yellow as it brightens up the other colors in your John Deere quilt. For a color to "pop" it needs to be in 3 places....your inner border, the tires on the tractors and I would do the binding. Let us know what you decide.

Definitely Blue!

thank you everyone for your replies and kind words. I don't believe I have enough of the blue to bind this one (I am using it to bind another quilt... but maybe I can change the plan for that quilt ha ha)

I didn't think about the plaid. I did fussy cut the tractors out so I do have that scrap to check into

I will let you know thanks again

Dirt!? What dirt?! You aren't going to let anyone get it dirty are you? LOL

I think you have your answer. It's a great quilt!

Cute quilt. I think the blue would be good for binding. I feel the yellow would distract from the blocks.

Blue would continue to frame the quilt

My thought too.

maybe do flange binding use yellow and the other color

Yep, I agree with using the blue to keep focus on the center. Nice quilt!

My first choice would be the plaid and then the blue!

I hope you don't mind, I would like to use your fun tractor quilt as an idea for a little boy at church! He is about 5 months younger than my 4 year old granddaughter, and he LOVES tractors. Not barns, chickens or cows, but Tractors! Your quilt is perfect. Personally, I will probably use the plaid for binding, just because it carries all the colors in the top! I imagine I'd better make it sturdy, I think he will use it until college!

I vote for the blue plaid, but I would audition it with a tiny yellow flange in the boarder too.

Your quilt is very nice. Good looking, and I would go with blue or green but not yellow.

I like the blue. I think anything else would pull attention away from the main body of the quilt.

I would choose yellow, for precisely the same reasons as the other lone yellow chooser :).

My first choice would be the blue - but you said you don't have enough to use it for the binding.

(What was it, by the way?I have a VIP blender that looks similar to that)

I think I would avoid using the yellow - not because it would get grubby looking sooner than a darker color, but because it would detract from the center.

I would use either the same as the borders or the John Deer.

I kind of like the light color you have used as sashing, but either would look good.

I would bind in the blue.
