    Default Binding decision

    I am making this table runner for my DIL but I can't decide on what border fabric to use. I can use the strip fabric for the backing and binding or the beige fabric with the beige binding. Since the edge of the panel is dark, I don't think the beige would look good as binding? The other brown is a shade to warm for the cool Browns in the panel. I pinned the strip around the panel edge as if binding, what do you think? Should I keep looking?[ATTACH=CONFIG]611723[/ATTACH]

    I think the stripe is perfect.

    I like it just like that! The dark looks more finished than beige would IMHO.

    I love the stripe! From what I can see, it's really a beautiful runner.

    Definitely the stripe! It really sets the runner off.

    Tartan,

    Can we see the other brown fabric against the edge? I'm not feeling the strips for the binding. It seems to compete with the other designs. I like a quiet binding on most projects. Good luck on the decision. We put so much thought into every detail.

    I like what you have here. The twisted cord adds a touch of elegance to your pretty table topper.

    I like the stripe. I've always been a fan of bias stripe binding. I love the look.
