I am almost done. I would like an opinion of what color should I use to handknot.

Do you want it to stand out or blend in? A light gray would blend in, one of the colors of your quilt would stand out more. You could use several colors, if that's not a problem.

I think a white would be best.

I have several colors and thought of that or maybe blue.

Whats your favorite color? Use that or- who ever you made it for use their favorite color. Would be surprised how picking it brings that color out in your "scrappy" quilt. I find that helps bring a quilt altogether and then bind in same color. What ever you decide will be wonderful.

white

I've never tied a quilt, so I can't help you much there, but I just wanted to say that I think your quilt is beautiful! I love that scrappy look!

As I read the replies above me I agreed with each one. I think it would work no matter what you decide. Congrats on finishing the quilt. I love it! In fact I've had it on my list of quilts to do one just like it. :)

i like off white.

great quilt, very bright and snuggly. White would work well, but any color/colors would look nice :)

Just pick one. It's in there somewhere! :-D Love your quilt!

I like your quilt. You could even use a variegated to tie it with. Are you using floss or perle cotton or what? Let us know what you decide.

I don't know what colour but just wanted to compliment you, that is a great looking quilt, wish my scrappy would look that good.

Whatever color you use for the binding I would use to tie it with.

I discovered lots of purples, yellows and black embor. flos.
I have enough of all the complete the handknotting. so that solved that. Thanks for all the compliments. will post when done knotting.

I would do a large stipple, that is how I do most of my quilts. Just me, I don't like tied quilts. Very pretty.

according to the "very very very tiny" fine print it is 100% cotton made Hungria

what is a stipple? always open to new ideas.

Beautiful quilt!

What color is the backing? Depending on how busy the back is, the ties will show a bit there...do you want them to stand out or blend in? Pretty much any color would look good with the quilt top.

I suggest black or a variegated thread.

I'd use blue.

Antique white would look great... since the quilt has an OLD FASHION FLAIR to it. Stark white might be a bit harsh. I love this type of quilt.....it looks wonderful. BTW... Pearle Cotton has a nice soft antique white.

I like white on tied quilts.

I would say variegated too!

Pretty quilt.

rainbow -joyfull-quilt makes me want to make one- ??look to the back for you thread colour muilti in a pattern like diagonal all one colour etc

Lovely.

we think alike. I discovered I had black, yellow and purple floss. on the diagonal I have a row of each color. so far it looks good. I've been hand knotting for hours and had to stop, my fingers are sore. I have to give them a rest.

Great quilt! No matter which you choose :!:

I like it :-P
