    Ok I am finally finishing off my circus star quilt. I am going to do the binding in the red (same as stars) my choices for backing are the stripes I used for the sashing, or an animal print in the same colors.

    I would like to hear your opinions as to which ya'll like better.

    Thanks

    i'd use the stripes and quilt it in lots of different color threads.

    adorable quilt, by the way. :-)

    I like the animal fabric - those lions are too cute!

    I think that either would be great, but I can understand your dilemma.

    I'd use the stripes; it would carry the look through, the animals look like a different print.
