I am one of those that chooses the beige piping and the navy binding. What a lovely simple quilt!

i like the beige. Seems to frame it off better making the navy pop.

I like the beige pipping. It breaks the navy down a bit and it does look nice with it.
Happy sewing :)

I definitely like the navy piping Love how it outlines the quilt!

psumom 12-18-2013 05:57 AM

I like the naby piping and don't really care for the red.

mummadee 12-18-2013 06:12 AM

Definitely the navy piping! This is a gorgeous quilt.

Yooper32 12-18-2013 06:23 AM

The navy, absolutely. The beige just gets lost, somehow.

Audition the beige, you can always rip out 10 inches.

I like the navy piping best. Would love to see it completed!

crafty pat 12-18-2013 09:01 AM

I would go with the navy.

MargeD 12-18-2013 09:36 AM

I like the navy piping. Nice job on the quilt.

SusanSusan33 12-18-2013 09:53 AM

I love the navy, but they both look pretty! Is there an accent color in the floral you could bring out?

this gets my vote! :thumbup:

My vote - navy piping. I had a large piece of your main fabric at one time. Loved it and used it all up. It looks really nice in your quilt.

I agree. The beige disappears into the border fabric.

IBQUILTIN 12-18-2013 11:16 AM

I think the navy pulls all of it together to make a nice statement, Lovely quilt can't wait to see it finished

grandme26 12-18-2013 12:24 PM

The navy piping

Jennifer23 12-18-2013 01:07 PM

I like the navy piping, or none at all. The red and beige just don't look as sharp to me. It's a beautiful quilt!

Challys 12-18-2013 03:14 PM

Love the navy!

Auntie Em 12-18-2013 05:11 PM

I also vote for the navy piping....makes it pop!!! Beautiful top!!

mimiof4 12-18-2013 05:13 PM

absolutely IMHO I would use the blue.

Absolutely...love the idea a a maroon color!

Misty's Mom 12-18-2013 06:03 PM

I posted another pic under "update which would you choose". I chose the navy piping. Thanks for all your comments and suggestions.

Nanny's dollface 12-18-2013 06:42 PM

I like the beige piping on the inner piping border and navy for the outer piping border. Very nice quilt!

jemma 12-18-2013 07:00 PM

Navy looks great

Jannie 12-18-2013 08:19 PM

I'm in the minority here. I like it without the piping. With just the print, it makes the rest of the quilt float.

HomespunHearth 12-19-2013 04:19 AM

Both beautiful options. What about trying the beige piping, and then an extra wide (1") navy binding?

ILoveToQuilt 12-19-2013 04:26 AM

My choice: navy piping. The red is nice, but has no anchor to the quilt...if some of the elements of the quilt were red, it would work. Stick with the navy.

I also prefer the beige piping... it seems to need that third fabric. It also sets the border off from the body of the quilt better.

sewbizgirl 12-19-2013 05:33 AM

Ok, now that I see the red I love it!

cowgirlquilter 12-19-2013 06:29 AM

I really like the navy, but either way it is gorgeous!

Shorebird 12-19-2013 06:31 AM

NAVY…you need the contrast..

Same here!

me too - at first i didn't 'see' the navy piping - had to look 2nd time.

mjhaess 12-19-2013 08:32 AM

Love the navy....

cashs_mom 12-19-2013 10:56 AM

I love the navy piping and binding!

Geri B 12-19-2013 12:09 PM

Here is another color........medium blue for the flange and then bind in same color as border fabric. Using the flange to stop the design. And the border is then the frame of that picture

FroggyinTexas 12-19-2013 03:58 PM

I agree with MaggieMay and craterrn1. I lie the beige. froggyintexas

nuttyhurricane 01-06-2014 04:22 PM

I like the blue piping. It helps set off the boarder more. Gives it some more pazzes (sp?). You have done an awesome job. Keep it up. K

rebeljane 01-08-2014 03:45 AM

I like the beige as it gives space between the navy blocks and the border
