What Color Binding?


Hi Everyone!

Well, Autumn is in full swing here in New England and it truly is just the most beautiful time of year! 

I worked on this Autumn quilted wall-hanging this week.

This is the first time that I have quilted applique... I wasn't sure I liked it at first but have decided that I do!

I blanket stitched the applique first and then used the free motion quilt 'stipple' pattern (Love that because there is no wrong way to do it!)

If you look closely at the back of the wall-hanging, you will notice my brown thread coming through... that is the MANY, MANY areas where my thread broke while I was quilting it. What a pain is the butt! I finally perfected my tension settings to prevent that.

I just need to bind it and add the sleeve for hanging. 

WHAT COLOR BINDING SHOULD I USE?

ORANGE, GREEN OR YELLOW?

Thanks for any ideas and have a great weekend!

  2. Any of those colors would look great, but I will say green b/c that is my favorite color lol. The wall hanging is beautiful :)

  3. Your wall hanging is lovely! I want to make one sometime, I have never done applique either. I don't know where to begin, and I still need to get a special presser foot so that I can do the stipple. I think yellow would be pretty for the binding. Lecia
