Binding color for my YBR quilt??

Post by LynnS » Wed Feb 27, 2008 3:01 am

Here is a picture of the quilt I made. I posted about it under "Yellow Brick Road Quilt" thread. What color binding should I do?

I'm considering green to match the blocks. I haven't bought binding fabric yet. I got the green fabric in the remnants bin so I don't have any left and I'm not sure I can get the exact fabric again. What do you think of using green? Or should I use white or blue?

Hmmm,
Maybe I'm the odd man out but I'd think about a slim white border and then a black or dark blue binding.

It's really a great looking quilt!

How about red?? It would pull some of the red in the quilt...

I usually pick a binding based on what color I want to pop a bit. The green already pops but I see a bit of red that might make a nice binding.

Since it would be difficult to match that shade of green, I would also go with the red. You can get red kona at Hobby Lobby or Hancocks.

I wouldn't use white, just because it is a childs quilt :) I think a dark blue or red binding would look great
