These are 2 quilt tops I have completed. I would like suggestions on bindings and quilting. The first one is a strip quilt that I am trying for the 1st time. Color is not good on picture. (Pinks & Grays). The second is triangles I tried for the first time. Some of the triangles are wonky. I finally figured out how to do them correctly so the points don't disappear into the seams. I am still a rookie who is learning as I go with lots of mistakes along the way. The seam ripper is my best friend. Thanks for suggestions and thanks for looking.

I look at the quilt first and then decided if I want the binding to show up as an accent or if I want it to blend in the background. With your first quilt, if you want it to be subtle, then go with a gray or if you want it to be seen, go with a pink. For the second, you might look for a stripe that has the colors in the triangles.

very nice
My first thought for your strip quilt is to use white... I know. I like it as it is but we need some sort of binding.

For your second quilt I would add a small border, may be 1 1/2 " or 2" then bind it with one of the colors you used in the quilt.

As far as quilting is concerned, are you handquilting or machine quilting?

On both, I would make a long strip of all the prints/colors in each top, and use that as a binding.... to accent the
fabrics you used.

Not much to offer in the way of advice but did want to say how nice they both are.

I love the effect of striped fabric for binding. For the first one, I would choose a pink or grey stripe, and for the second, a black and white would be stunning, such as:

I collect black and white stripe fabrics and keep it for binding. I get a lot of comments about it.

They are both lovely and the others have made some great suggestions....go with your heart.

Both are lovely! First one, perhaps quilt in an all over design, and bind with grey. Second one, maybe add a small border, and bind in a stripe or one of the colors in the triangles~~

I agree with ManicQuilter2, and a softer gray or pink (or combination) would be pretty. Also agree helou that a small white border would be nice with one of the colors as binding.

Nice job on both!
