Many thanks for the ideas and votes! I am leaning toward the Navy ... but piecing the binding with multiple colors or adding a flange would be really interesting approaches. Will probably play around with the blocks a little more and then just make my final decision and go with it. Thanks, again, for the help!

Deborah, I don't think you can go wrong with either the red or navy. I prefer the navy but it's your quilt. It's soooo pretty!!!

Hey, thought you guys might be interested in this ... not sure why I didn't do it sooner! This is a digital test of my layout — which I had created using scanned images of the actual HST blocks — combined with the top binding color choices. I still love the red, but the navy blue is the winner for me. It really pulls the whole thing together, doesn't it?



(Yeah, please ignore the width of the binding. That's not accurate!)

Both would work but blue would be my first choice.

I’m glad you chose blue. It looks so good

Jingle

Navy blue would look great.

dkh memphis, that is a great idea to pop it down on the various colors. Navy Blue frames the quilt best to my eye.

Thanks again for the friendly replies! I don't post here often, but when I do, I always enjoy the ideas and support.

When in doubt, always chose red. That's what I think.

Ooops! I see that you've already made your choice. Blue is very nice too!

Audition fabrics against the top....you will be amazed how the right one just pops out at you. I have often found that a fabric I would never have thought would work turns out to be the perfect pick for binding.
