    I'm about one or two days away from finishing hand quilting my quilt.....and I don't know what color to choose for binding....I guess I want to use one of the colors in the quilt. What color would you bind with???

    I'd use that dark plum looking color. I just like binding in darker colors since the edges will have most hand contact and tend to soil over time.

    I too would go with a dark color to frame it, the dark plum would be nice! Great job on the quilt, it looks nice!

    Cheers!

    I vote for darker, too. It would set it off nicely. Great quilt!

    I like the green for a softer ending.
