    Question QUESTION ON COLOR FOR BOARDER

    I am making a table runner from Zuzu's Petals Charm Pack and I need some input on the color of the boarder. Here are pictures of a white boarder or should I go with oatmeal? I was thinking of doing yellow or blue for the binding? What ya all think?

    Thanks for your help

    It's hard to tell, but I think I would go with the oatmeal. It looks like there are a couple of neutral blocks in there that oatmeal would go well with. But, you could hardly go wrong with either one. It's gonna be pretty!

    I agree it's hard to tell from the pics! The fabric is cute, looks to me like oatmeal would work.

    Thank you Martha and Patty. I know the pictures are not that good it was hard to get the right "feel" with my camera at that time of day. I just didn't want to open two jelly rolls at the same time.!!!
    But I thought the oatmeal would be a good choice, but I opened the smaller jelly roll as the bigger one from Moda.

    I will take more pictures in the AM and post them with the oatmeal.

    Thank you
    Hugs!!!

    Oatmeal is always good!! Good for the heart, good for your table topper.
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    I would not use white because there is off white and cream in the blocks but NO white. Perhaps it is just a personal viewpoint, but I don't like to mix white and cream on the same quilt unless it is part of the pattern. Like white on white prints.
