Finishing the big flower panel
 

This has been done for a while now, but I am not sure how to finish it ...

Should I bind to the front? To the back?

Or should I face it? (I just discovered that method ... honestly, not thinking too hard about that one, since it involves hand sewing!)

If I bind to the front should I use black?

Thanks all ....

Your quilting is beautiful! Binding with black would act to frame it, but might look a little harsh. How about a warm gray, like the darker mid tones or the lighter dark tones in the piece? Or a charcoal gray would be nice, since it looks like that's the color of the darker tones in the background....

I agree with Rob I think black would be too harsh. I just love this piece it is just beautiful!!!

Well, now I have to go buy fabric LOL

I thought the black was too harsh as well ...

Thanks!

Love the panel. Kinda like the batting color myself! Soft and it blends well.

Beautiful quilting.

Beautiful quilting, Marion. I am so impressed with you skill. You have been so dedicated to mastering FMQ.. I commend your tenacity.... I agree with Rob.... Using a softer frame will highlight the panel and not pull the eye away from the beauty...

Marion, your panel is absolutely beautiful. I soooo admire your work.

I totally agree.

Beautiful quilting...what a lovely project.
