what rich looking color! Lace or satin edging sounds good to me.

Just a thought on binding your runner...you have done a fabulous job so far, maybe a satin bias cut border? Satin would set it off perfectly, and using bias avoids the argument I always have with satin not wanting to lay flat. Post whatever you do please, I can't wait to see what you decide!

I like this idea = seems the simplest, easiest, and will look great. Speaking of great - your runner looks GREAT!

I agree. You could even use gold or silver satin (cut the satin just a little larger so you would have sort of a piping look to it on the edges) that has a duller finish on the back side. Sorry I can't remember what they call it. And It might be easier to sew with the velvet.
