Stagecl Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Here is my baby quilt top to be sent off to Australia for some one to quilt. I am going to send the binding. I have enough of the cat print to cut binding or should I send the blue in the outer border as binding? What do you think? I am inclined to send the border color. How wide do you want your binding cut? 2 inches or 2 1/2 inches? <a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2204222320101443422KkKuoh"><img src="http://inlinethumb11.webshots.com/23242/2204222320101443422S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="Four Patch Cat 1"></a> <a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2989992040101443422EtUMsw"><img src="http://inlinethumb23.webshots.com/44054/2989992040101443422S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="Four Patch Cat"></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamelaA Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I vote for the blue. It is a wonderful quilt and I am sure it will be loved. Pamela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 That is way cute! How about sending binding in both fabrics and let the final quilter decide? You did a good thing...someone will love that quilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think blue. What a great little quilt. Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeAnn Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I vote for the blue, too. I cut my binding 2 1/4" wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 The cat fabric is leftover from a backing and has been just hanging round waiting for a purpose and now it found one:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreadWaggle Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 What a cute quilt. I vote for the blue for binding as well. I would cut the binding strips 2 1/2. They can always make it smaller if they want to, but can't really add fabric if they want it wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue E. Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I vote for the blue and I cut my binding 2 1/2". Cute quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I say blue and I cut mine 2" but I think I'm in the minority. Most cut 2 1/2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Heidi, I cut mine at 2" too and yes, we are in the minority:D. But, I know most cut theirs wider. I cut the binding at 2 1/2 inches and went with the blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorris Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hi Cheryl That is so cute - thank you so much. Someone is really going to love snuggling under that quilt. sue in Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyLynn Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 That is so cute. I vote for the blue also. I cut my binding 2 1/2" and for baby quilts, I stitch it on the back then flip it over to the front and machine stitch it down. I feel that baby quilts get washed so much that the extra strength is needed. Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witha'K'quilting Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I like the print fabric for binding. And I cut my binding 1-3/4"...I appear to definitely be in the minority...or even all alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I like the blue, too. The quilt is adorable. Someone is going to hug that as they fall asleep. I cut my binding at 2 1/2 for quilts and 2 1/4 for wall hangings or table runners (smaller things). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
