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.

That fabric would be my first choice, or a similar black & white. Or a red print, same red color as in some of the pinwheel blades, because that would set off the yellow centers and, really, the whole design. And I love the quilting--it finishes your piecing instead of competing with it.

I also vote yellow!

I think I'd go with black but either way, this is going to be a very pretty quilt.

Black won't draw your eye away from the fun colors
and unique quilting.

Ruby the Quilter 10-08-2011 01:53 PM

Think black would be the best.

Thank you all for your input.
This quilt was quilted by a longarm by Charismah.

I would go with black binding.

I would go with black binding. :)

The owner of the quilt chose the color of thread.

I quilted the squares with wavy lines on purpose so they are supposed to be off center. I have done that on many quilts because it's a more affordable option than straight lines which would require ruler work.

have you got enought scraps to make it scrappy. would look great. Black is going to be hard to see to sew down. I like scrappy bindings, I did that on one of mine with black background.

debbieoh 10-08-2011 03:41 PM

Yellow

showmehow 10-08-2011 04:05 PM

Yellow was my first thought

TN Gal 10-08-2011 04:26 PM

I try to use a color from the quilt that will also blend with the backing fabric. My binding is often the same as the last border of quilt top.

FroggyinTexas 10-08-2011 05:01 PM

Beautiful quilt. I would use the brightest red I could find. froggyintexas

Grandma Peg 10-08-2011 05:12 PM

Black binding.

sunnymom 10-08-2011 05:14 PM

I vote for black for the binding!

brewsa 10-08-2011 07:40 PM

I would use yellow.

stitchnnana 10-08-2011 07:43 PM

I would go with yellow binding. Nice work! :)

I agree.

I'd go with the yellow. Cute Quilt :thumbup:

Lori J 10-09-2011 06:01 AM

I would choose black, I think yellow would detour from the beautiful checkered border.

My time 10-09-2011 08:33 AM

First choice would do it scrappy.

meyerss 10-09-2011 05:03 PM

Black, absolutely.

meyerss 10-09-2011 05:04 PM

Black, absolutely.

np3 10-09-2011 06:09 PM

yellow

duckydo 10-09-2011 06:39 PM

I agree with janetlmt the multicolored one in the second picture with the black in it would be great!

purplefiend 10-10-2011 02:38 PM

I would make a scrappy binding.

biscuitqueen 10-12-2011 09:03 PM

fred singer 10-13-2011 06:35 AM

daisydebby 10-22-2011 07:02 PM
