    The back is the dark pink. The rest is charm squares. Thanks for your help.[ATTACH=CONFIG]490208[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]490209[/ATTACH]

    I agree with the others--the light one as it gives a frame around the quilt. The dark pink will not be very noticeable and blends right into the quilt.

    If your binding is very straight and even, the light one will look nice. If it gets at all bumpy or uneven, then it's safer to go with the dark one.
