    I am almost done. I would like an opinion of what color should I use to handknot.

    Do you want it to stand out or blend in? A light gray would blend in, one of the colors of your quilt would stand out more. You could use several colors, if that's not a problem.

    I think a white would be best.

    I have several colors and thought of that or maybe blue.

    Whats your favorite color? Use that or- who ever you made it for use their favorite color. Would be surprised how picking it brings that color out in your "scrappy" quilt. I find that helps bring a quilt altogether and then bind in same color. What ever you decide will be wonderful.

    I've never tied a quilt, so I can't help you much there, but I just wanted to say that I think your quilt is beautiful! I love that scrappy look!

    As I read the replies above me I agreed with each one. I think it would work no matter what you decide. Congrats on finishing the quilt. I love it! In fact I've had it on my list of quilts to do one just like it. :)

    great quilt, very bright and snuggly. White would work well, but any color/colors would look nice :)
