Binding color help!

[BethEmilyB]

I'm finally finished with my disappearing hourglass quilt top. Now I have to figure out what color to do the binding in. Any suggestions?

[K. McEuen]

That is really pretty. If it were mine I would use that rainbow looking batik on the bottom row, third block in from the left.

I would do a narrow (2 1/2") white border and then use that beautiful batik Karen picked.

What's your daughter's favorite in the quilt?

[DramaMama]

Small white border, smaller binding -- the color of which you want to emphasize in your quilt!

Gosh, I'd probably pick whichever one I have enough of to go around the quilt! Any of them will work. I never go with white borders. I figure it will start looking dirty and it may not come clean in the wash. Some would take all the scraps leftover, sew them together and use that for binding. I'm not one to do that unless I'm really short on fabric and I don't want to purchase something extra just for the binding.

Just wanted to say how gorgeous you quilt is! Choose any color and it will be perfect. I would use a dark color if I was doing it.

This is a beautiful quilt. I think binding only may take away from the triangles at the edges. I would do a narrow border in one of the colors, and then bind in the same color.

[Cathy F]

Gorgeous quilt! I'd use one of the dark colors to frame the quilt and set off all the other beautiful colors.

Very pretty.
