    My suggestion would be to use the b/w as a small border and bind it in red.

    The pink or red would be my choice. This is really pretty!

    Someone mentioned stripes on the bias. I love that look!

    So, Steph, have you made a decision? Inquiring minds want to know .

    Yes and no. I'm trying out two different versions right now after going to the store to pick up some more fabric. I'm the world's slowest quilter but I should have the binding on today. Fingers crossed.

    I'll update with a picture so you can see how it turned out.

Then I thought I'd soften it with the gray stripe (right) but it looks pretty much the same as the black and there is no gray in the wall hanging. Next I moved on to the pink sprinkles (top left) because it is the backing fabric and I can be lazy and just pull it over to the top when binding but I don't know how I feel about the look. So the red dot (bottom left) is really the only other option I have without going to go to the store.

    What do you think? Black stripe, gray stripe, pink sprinkles, red dot, or none of the above? Thanks!
    Instead of laying so much beside the top, try placing the options under it with just a little bit showing, because you will only be seeing a tiny bit of color along the edge. That will really give you a better idea of what you like.

    That is such a good idea! Thank you for that tip. I have so much still to learn.

    Do you have any red and white stripes? I love the look of striped binding. If it is on a 45 angle it is even better. Otherwise I like the red dot.
