Besides... you already have the black! Think of all the time you would need to take to shop for something else - and hiw much trouble you could get in at the quilt shop!!! In the time you did that you could already have the quilt bound, done and on to the next work of art! Great job!

But I am wondering about what color to bind this with. I have plenty of the black from the outer border that I could use. I am just wondering if a different color would be better?
This is for a college senior daughter of a coworker. Any thoughts? the gold? the pink? Or just stay with the black?

I'm going to go with the minority votes. I like the yellow, it would make a nice frame to the whole quilt.
Black will disappear..... unless, of course, that's what you want. I have made the odd quilt that I didn't want the binding to show up so used the last border fabric.
It all depends on the quilt and how you want it to look.
