    I have 3 choices of fabric to use for the binding and I can't make a decision. The batting is sticking out beyond the pink border, just ignore that. This is going to be a gift so I will go with the majority. Please vote. Thanks for your help. Vinae

    I always like my bindings to "frame" the project. It also gives a little "pop" to it. I would choose the darkest fabric. This is just my humble opinion. I love this pattern. Great job on it.

    For the current border, it's a lighter pink than the darkest pink binding choice, right? Assuming it is, I would do the darkest pink to make it pop. 2nd choice would be white, assuming the patterns on the white binding and white in the table runner fabric match/don't clash

    Yes the border is lighter pinks. I had the dark pink in my stash and didn't know how it would go with it since I didn't use it in the runner. The white is another print that I had in my stash and It is a different print than the one I used in the runner.
