Finishing the big flower panel
This has been done for a while now, but I am not sure how to finish it ...
Should I bind to the front? To the back?
Or should I face it? (I just discovered that method ... honestly, not thinking too hard about that one, since it involves hand sewing!)
If I bind to the front should I use black?
Thanks all ....

Your quilting is beautiful! Binding with black would act to frame it, but might look a little harsh. How about a warm gray, like the darker mid tones or the lighter dark tones in the piece? Or a charcoal gray would be nice, since it looks like that's the color of the darker tones in the background....

Beautiful quilting, Marion. I am so impressed with you skill. You have been so dedicated to mastering FMQ.. I commend your tenacity.... I agree with Rob.... Using a softer frame will highlight the panel and not pull the eye away from the beauty...
