Beautiful top!! I just love that. Can't wait to see it handquilted! I also love the idea of a pieced binding. For the colored portion of the border, I'd probably favor blue or yellow...but I don't think you could go wrong!

It is a very pretty quilt but for border since I am not fond of white borders I would use one narrow colored border then use one of the prints on white for the wider border. Then come back with the narrow border color for the binding maybe. Hope you show it to us again when it is done.

I don't like white bindings b/c they don't always stay white LOL

My thoughts exactly :lol:

That makes three of us!

I'd put the color one first as I think the white would get lost if it were first. Plus the white would then seperate your two colors. So many colors pop right out, just choose your favorites.

Maybe do the first border in the brown that you used in the quilt.

Hi Dee
my first choice would be no borders.
If you want one, I'd follow Sue's advice and add a pieced binding in the quilt's colours.
