Can we play "pick that binding"?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I'm having trouble picking the binding for this wall hanging, mostly because it will be hanging on pink walls. Originally, I was going to use the black stripe (top) to give it some pop against the pink walls but now that I see it, I worry that it might be too much. Then I thought I'd soften it with the gray stripe (right) but it looks pretty much the same as the black and there is no gray in the wall hanging. Next I moved on to the pink sprinkles (top left) because it is the backing fabric and I can be lazy and just pull it over to the top when binding but I don't know how I feel about the look. So the red dot (bottom left) is really the only other option I have without going to go to the store.

What do you think? Black stripe, gray stripe, pink sprinkles, red dot, or none of the above? Thanks!

How about one of the stripes with the red dot as a peeper ??

Red dots. It pulls out the red and doesnt compete since it’s a tiny dot print.

I know you said, that's your options without going to the store, but ......
......... just in case you never thought about this ......
I would go for one of your deeper/darker reds.
It would frame your piece up nicely and would really bring out the brighter reds.

Red dots. Always nice to use what you have.

I agree with QuiltE ... a red binding.

One theory about picking binding color is to choose the darkest color in your quilt. Saying that, the red dots or a darker red would work :-)
