Binding for Kayak will match the border. I'm undecided on the Triple... there's really only a few choices: blue or green. :roll:
Thanks for looking.

And you wonder if you should enter a quilting contest in the near future?!! I loved both those tops when you posted them awhile back but the quilting just adds so much to them! I LOVE those swirls and love how she used several different types of leaves in the Irish Chain. Gorgeous work!
