I had this quilt quilted a while back and wanted to see what ya's think and what color binding you would use??
Yellow or black? Thanks in advance.

I really like this quilt and find the quilting very different and refreshing.

DJ 10-07-2011 07:46 AM

Very pretty! I'd use yellow binding myself.

butterflies5518 10-07-2011 07:50 AM

very pretty - I would use yellow.

I really like this quilt..it is very dramatic. In picture #2 there is a fabric in the pinwheel at the left top that is black background with white lines thru it. I think that would a great binding. It has the colors of almost all of the other fabrics and it also has black. It would also have yellow in it.
Can't wait to see what you chose. Keep us posted.
Peace and blessings,

I would use black.

Alex J 10-07-2011 07:58 AM

I would go with yellow

PamB8s 10-07-2011 07:58 AM

YELLOW

I try to do a dark binding most of the time because it hides the dirt better. For some reason the edge gets dirtier faster than the quilt. The yellow would be pretty too or the black with design as someone mentioned already. I bet you only had a scrap of it to put in your quilt? I love scrap quilts and yours is really nice!

KimmieH 10-07-2011 08:15 AM

im thinking yellow too.........2nd thought would be scrappy

Tcharlie 10-07-2011 08:32 AM

RED

QuiltE 10-07-2011 08:34 AM

I'd go black ... there's enough happening in the quilt, that you dont' need a coloured binding as it would take your eyes away from the rest of the quilt.

Crqltr 10-07-2011 08:37 AM

I vote yellow!

Granny Quilter 10-07-2011 08:40 AM

I would use yellow. Ther is a lot of black already

katz_n_kwiltz 10-07-2011 08:50 AM

you asked......the binding has to be black.....unless, you make it scrappy like the stars...
good luck deciding

I would do black

Yosamitesa 10-07-2011 09:03 AM

To make it pop...yellow. To make the quilt pop and stand out more...black. :) Beautiful quilt!

feline fanatic 10-07-2011 09:15 AM

I agree with the comment about the binding getting dirty quicker so would go with the black. My first impulse was yellow, though. A scrappy binding would also look good on this.

I like the quilting. It reminds me of Charismah's style.

scraphq 10-07-2011 09:19 AM

Very pretty quilt. If it were mine, I'd bind in black.

MoanaWahine 10-07-2011 09:48 AM

Black all the way.

jmabby 10-07-2011 09:49 AM

I also like black

timepasser 10-07-2011 10:01 AM

Really loving this quilt

thequilterslink 10-07-2011 10:05 AM

I'd use black

mmdquilts 10-07-2011 10:07 AM

Scraps of the yellows would be pretty

wraez 10-07-2011 10:08 AM

I think a scrappy binding with touches of black would be perfect IMHO

Annaquilts 10-07-2011 10:08 AM

This is a very happy quilt! I am partial to red for the binding. It will pick up on the red wedges and goes well with the black and yellow.

buddy'smom 10-07-2011 10:08 AM

Black it will be. I'm donating it to April for her charity, such a wonderful cause. Intracranial Hypertension, they just lost to small childern to this illness.

I think I'd go with a scrappy binding. Those thirties fabrics are just too beautiful to waste!

blueangel 10-07-2011 10:16 AM

Yellow

Jim's Gem 10-07-2011 10:52 AM

Black. I like my bindings a little darker because of dirt.

QM 10-07-2011 10:54 AM

Any color would do. I would use black, or maybe a scrappy binding.

sewmorethings 10-07-2011 10:59 AM

Yellow would be my choice,it would make the center of the flowers pop

PamS 10-07-2011 11:15 AM

VERY nice quilt. I think I'd use yellow.

hobbykat1955 10-07-2011 12:57 PM

yellow

sewingladydi 10-07-2011 01:14 PM

I'd go black just because the binding tends to show dirt more.

Jammin' Jane 10-07-2011 01:18 PM

Yellow would really frame everything!
Quilts are washable if it gets dirty! :)

ube quilting 10-07-2011 02:19 PM

Show us the backing. I think I would use black so as not to distrack from the quilt center. Very nice :thumbup:

or make a scrappy binding from all the fabrics in your quilt.

sisLH 10-07-2011 02:25 PM

yellow

Willa 10-07-2011 02:51 PM

I think the yellow you have in the center of each star would be awesome.
