Another wrench thrown in - I tend to not voice my opinion on 'binding choice' threads, because I don't know why, but I always think the binding should be the fabric of the last border. So here, I say purple.

Now you know why I don't give my opinion

I agree, I think the orange is great with the dark purple!!!

I like the green. Cute quilt. Love it.

Why not use ALL of them?? Cut them into 12-18" strips, join with diagonal seams, and put them ALL on :-D

So I previewed: No to the black with dots, but the green looked OK....then I noticed an orange, so I previewed that and I looked and looked......OK, I'll let you look...3 pics.
If you have trouble choosing a binding, try this trick. Lay out a wide piece along the edge, like you were adding another border. If you like one better than the other when it's wide, you'll still like it when you make the narrow binding. Works for me.

My eye says the gold/orange. Very cute quilt!

I agree.

:-P
