Beautiful quilts Marion! I always love seeing your projects. You have such beautiful colors and creativity in them.

On the first quilt, “I” would bind it in the background fabric. The dark fabric (I think) will detract from the center of the piece by bringing the eye to the outer edges. You want the center motif to stand out. By using the background the center motif will be the focal piece.

I must add Marian, this quilt is beautiful. you have come a long long way in a very short time. I hope you do well in the competitive show you plan to enter this in.

For the second - why not add a facing instead of a binding?

Oh Man. Your quilts are gorgeous! You are so good at this. Your colors are wonderful. I would not put a binding on the rose quilt. I think the facing idea is great. It is too beautiful to add something to the edge to take my eyes off the quilt.

Don't have any suggestions, but they are all just beautiful!!!

All are just lovely! I'd use the darkest color in the quilt for each of them. It will frame them nicely.

Your quilts are awesome! #1 I would bind it with the dark from the center and add a flange with a lighter color. The BQ quilt … I would try a large paisley in the open space on each block … other one I don't know ...

They are all absolutely wonderful! The second one is such a gorgeous way to showcase the focus florals!

Beautiful Quilts, make them the focus, not the binding. I'd go with a very thin neutral color binding personally. I want my quilt blocks/pattern to be the main event. I use 2"wide strips that sew down to about 3/8" after sewing. Barely noticeable, which is my intent.
