Help Please

Hi all,

I have come to the end of my Bliss project and struck a blank wall…I should not of looked in my closet nope should of kept that door closed.

P1040831

You see upon opening my closet this beautiful green with white flowers jumped at me ….so I tried it on as final border and then bias would be white????

P1040830

Then I tried white final border with scrappy bias from left over charms (bit worried about bulk in all the joining.

EDIT- if I didn’t use the left over charms for the binding I have a runner I can use them for.

Am all over the place now, so I though uh huh go to the Blog World get some input..please

Cheers Vickie

Thanks for stopping by.

I personally like the white and the charm square binding vickie, looks nice and fresh..but the other is nice too...and as you say you would still have the squares for a runner??? thats frugal..and would be nice..look forward to seeing what you do
cheers

I say go with the white then the charm strips but like everybody else said both look nice however think about that white for binding :( dont think it would stay clean long enough.

I would need to see the whole quilt before I could say. :) On that little bit, though, I'd go for the white border and charm square binding. The other option I would look at, is using the green for the binding. Definitely don't use white binding! It will eventually go grey. :)

I think the green border, it picks up the green in the quilt beautiful. ( but I see I'm a minority LOL)

How's your knee doing now you're back at work? Hope it's still improving.

Hard one, but I agree about white binding being a potential problem down the line...but I love the idea of the charm binding. :-)
I reckon either way it's going to be *gorgeous*!
