    My motto is: when in doubt go dark...so my vote would be for the darker blue...or...you could even go with the darker pink if you still have some of that...it would be dark, but a contrast, instead of matching the blue lattice fabric....give the quilt some "zip" at the edge....you have the final decision though, any of the choices would work.

    I like the dark blue (sashing fabric) - it just frames it - its a beautiful quilt.

    Do you have any light blue that matches the border. I think that would end the quilt but not take a way from the main quilt. If not then I think bind in same fabric as border.

    Love your quilt and all the great colors. I like the backing fabric for the binding as my first choice and the sashing color material as my second.

    Every quilt is different and IMHO I think the backing material is so cool it just has to have more of it. It also will make the edge disappear so you look at the quilt center and not the edge of the quilt.

    Love this happy quilt. Let us know your choice!
