I need your help, please. I am making this quilt for my GS this Christmas. Which backing should I use; black with circles or red gingam (that's not spelled right). And then what should I bind it with. I thought of binding it with the truck material; but would that look right with the red backing?

I'd back it with the black/white material.

black backing with a yellow binding that matches the trucks. how wide are you making the binding? if you are going about 1" i would recommend a tone on tone or a marble one. that way there is some movement to the binding and it isn't just left hanging in there.
