I made this quilt top today for my nephew's first birthday which is next month. It will have green fleece for backing. I plan on quilting and binding it tomorrow. However, I am having a hard time deciding which color I should use for the binding. I could use the same green in the small border or the orange in the four patch blocks. What are your votes? Thank you for the help.

Since you used the green for the inner framing, I vote for orange for the binding.

Oh what a cute quilt. I vote for orange, it will really make the clown fish pop.

oatw13 07-27-2010 05:04 PM

Does the green fabric match the fleece for the backing? If so, I vote for green.

If not, then orange!

It looks great.

Oooh, good point! Can I change my vote?

No, the fleece backing is a different shade of green. I think it is a little lighter.

Annaquilts 07-27-2010 05:15 PM

Orange since you will have a green backing. this way from the back it will have a nice second color too and look framed. Anna

DebraK 07-27-2010 05:17 PM

orange.

Jingle 07-27-2010 05:19 PM

I would use the orange. I think you have enough green.

Ms. Shawn 07-27-2010 05:22 PM

I have never made one but I like the orange or the green!!!

If you have enough of the alligator material left, I would make bias tape with that. :)

I didn't even think of that. I do have enough left. Now I really don't know.

cjomomma 07-27-2010 05:53 PM

I am gonna vote for green. But the alligator fabric might work too.

Farmer Girl 07-27-2010 05:58 PM

I vote for the orange, but what do I know - I've been on a major orange kick lately. Love the quilt!

I'd use orange for the binding. It will give the quilt a "pop" factor. JMHO
