Or....use black for the border & the binding and quilt it with bright variagated thread. At this point, you can't really go wrong.

black border and binding, my rule for quilts is to use the darkest color in the quilt for last border and binding, think of it as a picture frame to keep your eye on the quilt. I made one quilt my 4 patch and did not follow "MY rule" and I find my eyes go off on the white part of the binding but stay on in the colored part of the binding. Now this is "MY" rule and I am by no means the QP, to each there own.

I know exactly what it needs!! A box with my address on it!
I have several Mariner's Compass Stars in those colors with a black background that it will go just perfect with!
Other than that... a black border. :lol:
