So I have a quilt back from the quilters (I'm not showing the whole thing until I get the binding on - but it isn't hard to tell what it is!). But I"m debating 3 bindings. I do have a favorite I think, but am curious to what your choice is. Above is all 3 bindings in one picture.So do you think the purple binding:
The middle black with tan design binding:
Or the more subtle black (almost charcoal grey) binding:
And check out the backing fabric! Isn't it cool!

what a great quilt btw
Love what I can see of your quilt -- can't wait to see the whole thing. I hope it has a purple binding!
I know what that is...I like the subtle black on the end.
I vote on a multi-color binding to reflect ALL the colors in the quilt. That is my favorite type of binding on scrappy quilts.

I like the black binding the best.
I'd go with the subtle black...the almost gray.....
Beautiful...LindaMay
I like the subtle black . . . frames the quilt like the matting in a picture frame.
I really like the black with tan design binding :) It will be interesting to see what the final vote is!
I like the middle black -
Nice quilt!

Nice quilt!! I like the 3rd binding- charcoal. I'm curious to know what your choice is:)
Middle, black with tan. :) The purple doesn't have enough "punch" with all the other colors going on.
The subtle black on the end...it really makes the quilt sparkle!
I like the last one best. It just seems to go with the other fabrics better.
middle black
I like the subtle black I think it will frame it really well and the pattern won't draw attention away from the rest of the quilt.
From what I can see, I would choose the 2nd, subtle black. Seems it would look nice with the backing also. Be sure and show us when completed!! Many thanks.
The purple gets lost. The middle Black.
I vote for the middle black with the tan design. Strong vote -- really stands out to me!
I think either of the black choices would look best. Great scrappy quilt!
Subtle black almost charcoal grey.
Thay all look lovely , but I really like the black with tan design binding..
great scrappy quilt.

I think either the purple or the charcoal grey. The middle one looks too busy for the binding. Just my humble opinion! dsb448@att.net
My vote is the black on the right! I think it defines the others the best
I would choose one of the two blacks and choose between them after seeing how they look with your backing fabric. Like Petey, I'm thinking the smaller scale print (the more subtle black) will look nicer with the back, but the black and tan fabric (which is my favorite fabric of the three) might be great with the backing fabric, too. It's hard to tell without seeing them side by side.
Oh great - no one mentioned my opinion so here goes, although SuBee's comment was where I was heading. I would add a light inner border first, then the two borders, either of the choices, but maybe repeating another color(s) from the quilt top. And because of the diagonals in the spools, mitering the border at the corner would look absolutely stunning!
Don't ya jest hate it when you get too many opinions and options you hadn't thought of before?
BTW, that's a beauty of a quilt!
Either of the black ones... Maybe some of each since your quilt is scrappy...
Just love your quilts. The spool quilt is awesome. Gonna have to make one of those someday. I prefer the middle binding, the one with the tan in the black. Keep quilting you do it so great!

Lovely quilt! I vote the middle black.
I love the charcoal binding, but any one you have there would be lovely. The quilt itself is gorgeous!
the middle one plays nicely with all the fabrics.
Am I too late to weigh in? I'm always a fan of black, either is good - but I think I favor #3 *s*
You're probably finished with this by now, but I like the middle one the best.
I'm a little late to this too, but I like the middle black or maybe, if you want to go scrappy, do lots of different blacks.
Miiddle black frames it nicely but I do think the purple is very pretty even if it blends in. So either one!
I know what that is!! I love it and I think either of the blacks would love great.
I love your spools - I want to make one too. I like the charcoal binding - I can't wait to see the whole quilt!
I just LOVE your scrappy spools. I am going to make one of these too, and hope to get on with it asap :o)
I guess I would use the grey as bindig. Look forward to see it finished!
Enjoy:o)
