I usually add a fabric not in the quilt. Usually because I don't have enough leftover. As long as it works. I did a various shades of blue table runner and bound in yellow. The boyfriend questioned but it was beautiful when it was done.

Ooooo that is going to be a beautiful binding :D:D:D

I will post pictures when I am done. I am definitely going with the striped now!!!

i audition fabrics for the binding when i finish the quilt. i don't always use what i had originally picked for the binding. i'll lay out the ones i'm considering and then lay the quilt on them so only about 1/2 inch shows so i can get an idea of what i like best. Stand back and see what works.

oh thats beautiful,love the colors.
