Trying to plan border(s) and binding
#14
I like the cream also and you could put a cornerstone in also. I always like sashing and a border - gives you a little more quilt!!!!! (Sashing only on the border next to the border (got that??)) In other words, not between the rows. Good luck. I love those kinds of quilts - You do nice work. Edie

I learned at our guild to always use a darker color for the binding. The idea was that with a cream, white binding your eye doesn't know where the quilt leaves off. I decided there was something to that so have been using darker colors for my binding; something in the quilt, anyway.

Absolutely use the scrappy binding! I do this frequently and really like the final effect. (I save all of the extra "tails" from my binding and use them as scrappy bininding. Not to contradict hubby, but you could also use a dark color for your sashing. Dark green, perhaps. Use what is on hand!

I like the idea of a border, but not lights or creams as the very outside border. The outside edges is what gets the most touches by hands, so will get the dirtiest fastest. I would use anything darker for an outside edge border.
