My Choc/Rasp quilt, need help
#21
I also prefer a darker binding on a quilt that is going to be used, since the binding takes most of the handling. I am going to be NO help at all, what about piecing the back? 3 long, vertical stripes, adds interest and looks great on both sides.

As a new quilter with a complete lack of experience, I go with my first instinct, and that is light back / dark binding. Your responders seem to be pretty evenly divided in preferences, and I truly think either would work fine.

I have 2 smaller quilts since I have 2 sets of blocks. I framed them all in two different fabrics. I frist sorted out the blocks in a dark pile and a light pile. Then I took a light fabric and framed them with dark fabric and the dark blocks I framed them with light fabric. Then I alternated the light framed blocks with the dark framed ones. It is very pretty and the 2 fabrics and continuity. I hope this is clear. :)
