    Tell DH he's crazy. White on a binding is not a good thing. Either the red or the blue would be stunning. ;)

Saw this on Fons and Porter and I did this on a quilt helped give the framing a little extra pop.
    I forget what it's called, but I did it on one of my quilts. I would rather sew on piping though. At least my invisible zipper foot has a track for the binding to run through. :thumbup:

    I'll try to post one tomorrow. I've started putting the white piping strip on, but I feel a headache coming on. I'll work on it some more tomorrow. Time to head for bed with some moist heat on my forehead, and my neck roll for a pillow (the BEST invention for people like me with lots of headaches). Thank you all for liking my quilt!

    I thought of white but then, It may show dirt faster as the binding is what is handled a lot. I like the idea of the floral.

    I would do a red border followed by a skinny white and then the blue or floral!

    Very nice work!! For the binding, the floral would be my first choice and the red would be my second choice. Just my opinion.
