Ditto!! I totally agree that the stripe stops the eye and finishes the runner quite well.

If I only look at the first picture, I really like the striped fabric and it seems to be perfect for the binding. However, looking at the second picture I understand what you are saying about the binding having warmer tones than the table runner itself. I also agree that beige may not give the effect you want. If it is an option, have you auditioned a darker blue? As I look at the first picture, I notice the blue first so wonder if that would work. If beige or the stripe are the choices you need to stick with, then definitely the stripe. Whatever option you choose it will be beautiful!

The stripe is a great finish to this very nice table runner, in my opinion!

I think you should stop looking. The stripe will be perfect for your runner in my opinion. Beautiful table runner.

I think the cording you have in the photo looks good with the table runner as it is.

I do not like the stripe because it seems to have a completely different "feel" from most of the mottled prints used in the runner.

Add me to the list of "I like the bias striped binding."

I like the stripe. I think it's the perfect accent to the colors in the panel. It doesn't overwhelm the quilt, but adds a nice spark.

The stripe looks nice for the table runner.

My thoughts as well.
