Purpose for my Black Batting
 
1 Attachment(s)
This quilt top is why I was asking questions about the $22.00 roll of back batting I bought.

This is my string quilt top I just finished sewing together. I am appliquing the flower etc.
I will put a 3" string border around the edge, then about a 5" black marble border around that.

Another question: should I bind all that in a color, picked out ofthe strings, like red, or green or yellow?
Or should I sew a lot of strings together end to end and use that for a binding?

Thanks!

WOW! Your quilt is beautiful. I would bind it in the black marble. JMHO

Very pretty. Why not audition some colors and see which one you like best.

Shirls4sons 11-21-2011 12:49 PM

I probably wouldn't have to audition any colors 'cause red is my favorite;)

I'm going to change those petals around (they're just pinned). It seems I have the red stipes all on one side of the flower. My bad.

I like to match the binding to the border fabric, if I have enough.

Beautiful quilt.

Gorgeous quilt!

This quilt is really a work of art! Bravo!! I think that a red binding would really make a statement.

Beautiful quilt! Red will be a great color for the binding. Great job!

Very pretty. I think I would use the black.

I like the black but another color might look good...sometimes I take some fabrics and lay them under the quilt and take a picture then I can see it differently.

Wow. Very pretty.

It's beautiful no matter what you decide for the binding!

This is really cute, I love a red binding.

Sunnye 11-21-2011 06:32 PM

I don't know about the thread color; all the suggestions are good.
But I do LOVE that quilt!

Gives it "shadow" and light direction..I'd leave them just as they are!! (And I'd bind with the black)

Such a beutiful and unique quilt! It just draws you in for a closer look. I myself would go with the multicolored binding. Thanks for sharing.

katesnanna 11-22-2011 06:04 AM

Wow!! So different, I love it. I would bind it with the brightest red you have.

tslowery 11-22-2011 06:24 AM

That is beautiful...love it.

Shirls4sons 11-22-2011 06:32 AM

Thanks for all the suggestions. I really do listen to other peoples opinions, especially on here. Everyone is so helpful and I have learned so much since I joined.

(Thanks for the thought about the flower. I might do that.)

I love this quilt!

fayzer 11-22-2011 01:22 PM

I would bind with red. The black binding on black borders will hardly show.

BETTY62 11-22-2011 06:45 PM
