Personally for the backing I would go with a dark to Navy blue...
Then I would do a few borders...
Instead of pieced borders I would do a thin, thin blue (1"). Then a thin white (2-2.5"), then another larger blue (3-4") then another thin white(2-2.5") then the widest Blue(4-6")...
Just my 2 stiches...
I love it...

My Vote is blue binding! Quilt looks great, lucky boss!

Beautiful quilt, and I would put a red binding on it ... just kidding <g>.
I was wondering .. that blue is really pretty, and I agree about not white on the binding ...
I don't think a border would be needed ... but, what about if you went for a lighter blue for the binding ... the fabric looks like it is textured, and perhaps a light blue would sort of just allow the quilt to blend into the background, while the quilt pattern is front and center.

I will be quilting it. I have a Grace frame with a Juki. I do all my own quilts and some of the charity quilts for the guild. It's fun!


Thanks everyone :!: for the comments. It was a fun one to do. Only 2 different blocks. (The sawtooth and the huge 1/2 square triangle. ) And the points came out pretty nice. I cut the squares a tad large and then trimed them. I think that really helped!
Not much un-sewing needed :lol: :lol: :lol:

I love two color quilts! I'm sure your boss will love it too.

Nice job

I agree - blue print for the binding and the same for the back if you can get it, if not a mid blue marble would be lovely!

PS Great quilt BTW!

Wow! What a neat pattern! If we didn't see the background, I'd wonder if it was a wall hanging. It looks like one fancy square. Very cool.

I guess I'd go with a blue border.

It's beautiful!
