    Your quilt is beautiful. I would use the blue to put a 1.5 inch border around it then a 3 inch white border and then bind it in the blue. It will frame it showcasing the quilt.

    what ever you use for the backing would be good for the binding as well. You would be surprised how nice that can look......are you sending it out to be quilted or are you going to do it?

    Use the blue print for the binding---maybe for the backing as well!

    Lucky boss, you did a beautiful job-

    Gorgeous quilt - I think I would go with the blue from the quilt top.
