I've always used 2" binding. Love the narrow binding. It doesn't stand out too much. Tried a 2.5" and it just looks too wide and my eye was drawn to the binding first, not the quilt. I say give it a try. If you don't care for it, you know to make it wider on the next quilt. I seriously doubt you'll be disappointed, though.
