What binding?
I have gone through my fabric a bazillion times (ok, maybe not THAT
many) but I just cannot seem to get the right binding for this baby quilt: http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...85238655KaGxLE Would it look ok to just bind it in black? Or should I be looking at something else? Somebody just tell me what to do so I can get it done and out of my hair! Thanks, Dannielle |

What binding?
The link took us to the panel with the teddy bear - is that the one you're
trying to decide on? I don't think I'd go with black, but I could see it with the blue that's in the border (with the numbers and alphabet) or even the darker brown of the teddy bear. Now, if you're trying to decide on the black and gray Turning Twenty, black would be fine, but I'd put a bright border on it first - maybe a red or turquoise or lime. -- Louise in Iowa nieland1390@mchsi dot com http://community.webshots.com/user/louiseiniowa "Dannielle" wrote in message ...

I can help. I was just at nap time reading Helen K's (late, of QNM)
thoughts on decisions that really, h-o-n-e-s-t-l-y don't matter. This is one of those times. Write your options on little scraps of paper. Put them behind your back, scramble them, choose one and get going. And no. You can not use black.

Louise,
Yep, the teddy bear panel is the one. I tried to get a blue to match and I have nothing that looks good with it. I hadn't considered brown yet, but I will now! I'm gonna go through my stash!

Alright, alright, I won't use black. I have gone through the blues,
greens, yellows and nothing looked good. I thought red would be a bit too over the top, the purples really looked off and I just was clueless. Of course, now I've got your suggestion and Louise's. I'm gonna play some more with the brown and see what else comes from this bucket of knowledge.

How about using different colored strips for the binding.....strips
that would match the rug in the quilt. Yellow, green, blue, and different shades of whatever is in the quilt.

That's what I'd be looking for. Definitely not black. Maybe a brown to coordinate with the yellow?

I might be late in this but my first would be white. Second try to match
the blue. If that doesn't work then the cream or yellow color.

What binding?
I expect I'm too late! But ...
No, not the black,; and I wouldn't really like a dark binding on this sweet little quilt (and that is from someone who almost always does!!). If you use a plain colour, a deep cream or creamy yellow would be my choice. However, what I think I would like best of all is if you have a small scale print which has pink, blue and yellow in it. It wouldn't matter what the pattern was, really, as so little would be showing, but I think the combination of colours would be fun. I do like the idea of doing a binding with the quilt colours joined in strips. But, if you do that, it might be best to avoid the continuous mitred binding method, as the chances of getting an unwanted seam at a corner would be quite high! Do the square - sides then top - method in preference. It's a dear little picture. ..
