I have completed a Warm Wishes quilt for a friend. The colors are rich reds and golds. I have three fabrics that would do for the binding, but I can't decide which to use. One is the same gold as the inner border, the other two are also used in the blocks. The photo does not show the rich color, but I hope you can see enough to help me decide. Thanks for your help. :D

I like the darkest one. IMO, for most quilts, a dark binding "finishes" the quilt by framing it.
