This was my first time participating in the swap and I really enjoyed it.......plus, I learned a lot! Not much help with the binding, but, I must agree with several others, something in red would look most appropriate.Kevin the Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408141611525523677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-55291367999070982092015-05-29T18:43:09.030-07:002015-05-29T18:43:09.030-07:00Red.

Or the darker blue that is in the bottom left block would also work as the binding, I think. I am not fond of doing the binding either, even though I'm so close to being done with the quilt at that point. Lately I've been telling myself to fill three needles with thread and when I've stitched that much I can then go do something else. Then I repeat it each day until the quilt is bound. At least it moves it forward some each day!Ann Parkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793084792556185984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-30185190864519890842015-05-29T07:47:50.625-07:002015-05-29T07:47:50.625-07:00You got a little treasure in that swap!

Stripes are always fun for bindings, especially if you are able to cut them on the bias. I just finished a quilt and used a FG Bon Voyage stripe (not on the bias). I'm very happy with how it turned out.Karen in Breezy Pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04931154097211557249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-51265379188253577692015-05-29T05:30:56.799-07:002015-05-29T05:30:56.799-07:00Love the doll quilt!

Maybe it is because I know I can start on something else. I would use the red that you have in the inner border for the binding. I think it will frame it nicely. Love that quilt!Wendy Caton Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122151466664580872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-10468761471141586732015-05-29T00:25:43.490-07:002015-05-29T00:25:43.490-07:00I made that Temecula mini too.

If you have more of the Red use it for the binding. I find it very relaxing and it means I am DONE! It's the 40th anniversary of Sister's- Wish I was going. I just might make a day trip down, if DH can drive me again.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156858742587928699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-65772937953257854612015-05-28T21:43:14.683-07:002015-05-28T21:43:14.683-07:00I'd use the same fabric as the outer border fo...I'd use the same fabric as the outer border for the binding.

She and I belonged to the same on line primitive quilt group for a while. When my husband died, she and the group made me a quilt. Very thoughtful.
