I like the darker fabric, goes with the beautiful quilting, maybe use the pumpkin fabric for binding?

I don't think you can go wrong with either fabric! We want to see the finished product!

I like them both. It depends on what you want to be the focus of the piece. The pumpkins will add color but might dominate the quilt. The other is subtler and leave the quilting as the star of the quilt. What you've done is really beautiful!

Just finished the binding. I used dark brown because I didn't have any more of the leaf fabric and slipped in the flange to tie in the white/brown theme. I think I will use it for my Canadian Thanksgiving table next Monday.
