    Default Help Choosing Binding Please!

    I bought this adorable panel last week that came with binding and border fabric, I have decided to alter their pattern a little and will end up using the binding fabric and thus need to buy something else for the binding. Here are the two options, both are from the same line as the panel but I can't decide which I like better and would love some opinions.

    I attached a picture of the panel, a photoshopped picture of what I plan to do with the panel and a photo of the two binding fabric options (the blue with fish or the white with dots)

    Lighter for me because there is more contrast in the fabric that will make the binding pop.

    i will go with the light border because of the contrast with the green body of the quilt. the color of the fish might make a nice binding.

    Either or ok I know not much help. I also like the first layout with the blocks on top and bottom. For me I would use the dark for the binding as it seems to show dirt first...JMHO

    Both are great choices! I guess if I had to choose I would go with the light.

    I like the first layout best. I would use the lighter for a small border, if you have enough, then the darker for binding.
