    I'd go with any one of the colors in the quilt. Love it, by the way.

    take a picture of your quilt - scan it in - then "color in" bindings of various colors - then preview your results -

    sometimes things look different than expected.

    With a black binding it reminds me of something by Mondrian. Very modern - I love it!

    I would try to match the blue as closely as possible. Since there is no black in the quilt it may not coordinate as well as you wish. I think it would add a nice frame to your beautiful quilt.

    I would make it scrappy and use all the colours you used in the quilt. This is such a fun quilt. Every thing else sounds rather boring.

    I would go with the orange or yellow. The blue and gray each go to the edge and would blend with the binding in that area. My choice would be the red/orange. Black would do if you are leaning that way. I am fascinated with your perfect points!

    Black binding would look like a narrow black frame on a modern art piece. I like that idea, but would add a wide white border to work like a picture matt.

    It will be very attractive, whatever you decide!
