    OOH, such pretty colors. You are not going to be bored with such vibrant colors as those are. Can't wait to see it when you are done.

    I think I might bind it in navy.

    Both nice but I'd go for the blue for contrast unless there a more 'citrus' colour combination - yellow, green and orange rather than pink?

    I love bright warm colors and usually favor them, but I was immediately drawn to the blue and I love it.

    I really do appreciate all the comments. I placed an order for the Michael Miller Siren Song Waves fabric ( blue tones). Once it gets here I can take a look at what binding would be best, ie same color or pick a solid. I then will have the project all ready to go as I'm in the home stretch of the D4P top I've been working on during the summer on rainy days when I can't work in the gardens.

    I love those stripes, and both look gorgeous with the Simple Marks. When I made a baby quilt from the charms recently, I used the green (the darker one) that is smack dab in the middle for the binding. It was Connecting Threads Mirage in peridot. I used the greyish color for my sashings because there was so much color going on otherwise.

    Do post pics of your quilts using Simple Marks Summer.

    Thanks for the suggestion on the navy color for the binding. Once the fabric gets here I can match it up to some solids.
