Decisions

I finished quilting my Metro Link, and now I'm trying to find the right fabric for binding. I don't usually have trouble picking a binding fabric, but with the scrappiness of this quilt, the best choice has been less than obvious. Hmm. I auditioned prints, but I think a solid is a better way to go on this one. Coal? Or azure?
Maybe brown, but it doesn't look as good with the back. The backing is the black and white print.

    I vote for the azure, as well. Wonder what a crazy color like purple would be like?

    I think the coal and brown are too somber. I like the azure.

    Your quilt is incredible! I like the azure, but I like Carla's suggestion and if you have a purple would like to see what how that looks.

    I know it wasn't one of your choices but I'd go with ash (if that's the background color). It won't distract from the pattern.

    I like the azure, but I think a purple or even yellow would look really good!

    what about a black binding or a black and white pin dot...
    out of the coal or azure I'd go with the latter..
