How about strips of all your fabrics sewn together? You wouldn't need to have them all the same length-the interest of your batik patterns would travel to the binding. It would work because you have the white as the background and border. Love your batik color choices. Another idea jotted down in my head!

I also think one of those beautiful blues would be nice for a border.

I'd like to see an orange or green border myself, but I'm sure whatever you select will be lovely since the top is so nice.

Awesome job! Maybe using alternating strips of orange and green strips so both colors in binding.

I think the green would cool it down and the orange would pop it up. Either would be great though.
I think this is a great idea!

Dark green would be perfect IMHO. Pretty quilt!

Lovely quilt! I'd use a deep, rusty orange that's already in your quilt top...it would really finish the quilt nicely!
