    Tat is gorgeous! I think a blue binding would definitely be better than white. Just be sure to take a piece of your blue fabric with you when you go shopping. You'd be amazed at how hard it is to match blues sometimes.

    Beautiful! I would also use the blue for the binding. I like to use the darkest color from the quilt for a binding I think it makes a kind of frame for the piece. It gives the eye an ending point.

    I would put a small white border and the blue binding would show up so nice.

    You did a great job!
    Your boss is a very lucky person!
    I agree with what most have said already - I would bind it in blue.
    Again great job!!!

    I would go with a blue binding, or have you considered Prairie Points?
    That is what I thought of as soon as I saw the quilt! :?

    Hi 2Doods: If this were my quilt I would probably put a thin (1 1/4 inch) white sashing around the quilt then I would put about a 2 1/2 inch sashing around the white using the blue in your quilt. For the binding I'd use white but I'm no expert. Dang!!! :cry: Just trying to help.
