Binding opinions

In that case I would choose a Burgundy binding. I think the predominant color in the top is blue - so I would use burgundy to highlight it.

I agree with this. The deep burgandy would look fantastic. You will get many answers but in the end the choice is yours.

I, personally, never bind with a light color because the binding is where hands pull up the blanket during the night, etc. I think either a darker blue (doesn't have to be REALLY dark, just darker) or the darker off red in the quilt. I guess, because the blue is lighter I would use the red. The quilts I make get used and a darker binding helps keep them looking nice longer between washings.
The quilt is really lovely. Did you use a square backing material or just line them up?
