My quilt back is a pastel green and my binding is black. Which of those two color threads do I use to hand sew my binding to the back?

Personally, I'd go for the black.

Ditto on that one. I would also use the black.

Definitely Black

That has been my thought all along but as I was pinning the binding, I suddenly questioned my thought process. THANKS!

I agree with the others..black

Do a little test with both colors and see which hides the best.

Black!

Oh yeah, black!

I was told at a quilt class to always hand sew the binding with thread matching the binding.

I think the black would be best. I can't wait to see your quilt.
