Lots of good binding choices from everyone. I just wanted to say that I think your quilt is adorable and that you did a lovely job on it.

I would either use the border fabric or the aqua background fabric.

My first thought was to find a blue that is similar to the darker blue in the border. But I think a stripe would be fun and perky!

I tend to bind the same as the border.

How about the border fabric with a flange tucked in there?

Here is a good tutorial with pictures.

I would suggest you audition a color or two for the flange to see which one your eye likes best! I might even try the red, pink or yellow. Don't forget to post a picture when its done! We love pictures. Hope this helps...

Lots of great ideas. I love that you didn't opt for baby pink for a girl. With the brighter colors, she will use and treasure this one for her whole life!

Being that I am the person who seems to always get the project finished the night before it's due, I'd go for the 2 color flange, narrow yellow with wider darker blue tone fabric. Hopefully, close to colors from the center!

Whatever you choose to do, this is a beautiful quilt and going to one lucky girl!

My thoughts exactly.
