I said black also but I could not get the words out why. I like your answer.

Trish88 10-07-2011 04:54 PM

I would definitly go with the black...Trish

Cottontop 10-07-2011 05:05 PM

Black, of course. You don't wanna take attention away from the quilt proper.

maryb119 10-07-2011 05:28 PM

I would use yellow. It would tie it all together with the yellow centers and squares in the border.

quilterella 10-08-2011 01:38 AM

Yellow if black or yellow are your only two choices. Personally, if you have enough of the pinwheel fabrics left, I would do a scrappy binding. Beautiful quilt BTW!

piepatch 10-08-2011 01:55 AM

I vote for yellow binding.

19angel52 10-08-2011 02:53 AM

Yellow - will make the colors pop more....

love it!

heather1949 10-08-2011 03:39 AM

I think this too. :-D

happynana 10-08-2011 03:53 AM

i would use the yellow very pretty quilt love the colors in it

ronnie17 10-08-2011 04:24 AM

I like the whimsy the quilting gives this quilt. Lovely choices. I would be inclined to use pieces of the pinwheels as the binding

SandyMac 10-08-2011 05:00 AM

I like alot.beautifully done.

Tweety2911 10-08-2011 05:06 AM

Black. Beautiful scrappy quilt.

moneill 10-08-2011 05:10 AM

I'd use one of the pinwheel fabrics that you like the best and have enough of.

GMaJanet 10-08-2011 05:21 AM

black

Matilda 10-08-2011 05:41 AM

I like it!! I think either would look good.

AprilG 10-08-2011 05:44 AM

Yep, yellow. Beautiful quilt.

Shayvian 10-08-2011 05:58 AM

I would say the same yellow as the center of your flowers. It is really gorgeous! Job well done!

black

or if you have strips of colors used in blocks, sew them together and make a multicolored binding. this would be fun and whimsical!!!

leiladylei54 10-08-2011 07:14 AM

I'd use yellow myself.

Gramyx7 10-08-2011 07:20 AM

I think Black for the binding....

Please don't hate me but, I do not like the quilting.. I would never have used black thread over the pin wheels, they should have been outlined with a lighter thread so the pin wheels would pop.... Just my opinion.... sorry..:)

Tudey 10-08-2011 08:03 AM

If you have fabric left over from the flowers (pinwheels, fans, what DO you call them?) I would piece a binding from those.

Trisha Bevan 10-08-2011 08:10 AM

Yellow would be my choice, very nice quilt.

Marie4403 10-08-2011 08:29 AM

I like yellow

Can't wait to see what you chose. Keep us posted.
Peace and blessings,

I agree, that fabric would look really good as a binding.

Black for sure. Great colors not to be competed with binding is my thought.

TheCloser 10-08-2011 09:05 AM

If one solid color for the binding is too much, you can do long pieces of different colors so it blends in with the quilt.

QuilterToo 10-08-2011 09:11 AM

I think yekllow is best, since u have so much black already and yellow would make all yellows stand out.

I agree - this would keep the finish lighter but incorproate all colors in the quilt. (Good eye, Janet!)

nwm50 10-08-2011 09:56 AM

Black would be awesome but just a question please....who quilted this?

auntmag 10-08-2011 09:57 AM

I vote for black.

nwm50 10-08-2011 10:17 AM

changed my opinion of thread color, lets go with gramyx7 suggestions and was this done by sewing machine or longarmed? the reason i asked (pls excuse my bluntness) but there seems to be lots of off centered stitches everywhere.As for the binding...maybe one of the flowered ones, what color is the backing?

marymay 10-08-2011 10:26 AM

I like this quilt.The pinwheels are so perfect.
Now I would like to know if the quilting was done by a sewing machine or a Long Arm. The reason I ask this is because of the yellow squares.The black threads are so off center. I agree with Gramyx7.I would like to know who quilted this. Not happy about the quilting on this quilt.

grannypat7925 10-08-2011 10:46 AM

I think the yellow.

desertrose 10-08-2011 10:54 AM

If have enough scraps left over I think that would be a nice touch.There's a lot of black already and the yellow is very bright aso a little goes a long way. The scrappy binding would be a nice touch to pull all the colors in the blocks out to the border. You asked for my opinion, take what you like and leave the rest... :-D :-D :-D Can't wait to see it completed whatever your choice of colors...

Janet L52 10-08-2011 10:56 AM

Pretty quilt! I prefer the yellow.

EMKC 10-08-2011 10:58 AM

Cute! Yellow for sure. :thumbup:
