Now it's time to choose a binding fabric. I am quite on the fence, so I thought I'd ask you for your two cents.
Oh, I should probably add, the backing is made up of 3 panels of these fabrics....
So, what binding fabric would YOU choose?

so many options
Last week while my kiddos were out of the house for a few days I was able to get some serious quilting done. It felt so good! One of the quilts that I was able to baste and quilt was my low volume one. One advantage to this quilt was the easy thread choice for quilting. Using white was a no-brainer. It blended with all the fabrics so nicely. What a bonus!
Now it's time to choose a binding fabric. I am quite on the fence, so I thought I'd ask you for your two cents.
Choice A, 1934 by Cosmo Cricket for Moda
Choice B, Baby Talk by David Walker for Free Spirit
Choice C, Building Blocks by American Jane Patterns-Sandy Klop
Choice D, Basic Grey/eva for Moda
Choice E, Barbara Jones of Quilt Soup for Henry Glass (I believe it's Barbara....the selvage edge of the fabric I have just starts with Jones, but i'm fairly certain it's Barbara Jones...)
Choice F, Red Gingham (woven) by Moda, which I would cut on the bias.
Now it's time to choose a binding fabric. I am quite on the fence, so I thought I'd ask you for your two cents.

Another beautiful quilt. I like the gingham - choice F.

I like D but I want E for myself. :-) I love that floral print! I'm glad you got so much done!
Definitely A or F. I like a binding to frame the quilt and using a stronger colour like red will do this, especially as you have all those reds in the backing. Looking gorgeous, by the way :-))
A or F...for the contrast! Beautiful quilt!
Red Gingham, of course!
I like Choice A!
I vote for F. Checks are cheery, and the red adds a little pop of color without being over the top -- and it coordinates beautifully with your backing fabrics.
Most definitely F - the red gingham! Although A would be nice too. Least favorite would be E - surprised you included it as an option actually...
Can't wait to see the whole quilt!!
You have already had lots of votes, and it seems that the majority have the same reaction I have -- A is best, in my opinion, with F a close second. I think that red really frames the quilt nicely instead of fading into the quilt.
A all the way. None of the others grabbed me like A did,, although E would be my second choice.
my 2 cents: red gingham.
This quilt is the bomb. A low-volume quilt is steadily climbing to the top of my to-do list after seeing yours and Cheryl's.
I like either of the reds first. After that I liked the grey.
I am a sucker for gingham! Choice F all the way!
I vote for A. E and F would be my alternates, I think F is a bit busy. I hav3e been reading through your book and want to make everything in it! I think I might need more scraps - Luckily my stash can help out as it seems to be growing out of control.
My favorite is F, with B a close second!
I vote A.
C would be my favorite !)
A!
I would choose A or F. The binding needs to be red.
My pick would be B...just a hint of color without adding too much punch...and goes so sweetly with the pinks in the quilt.
A because it works best with the backings and gives definition to the prints on the front. Thanks for asking :)
I think I like A best, but I might choose C if I saw more of the quilt.
i love your quilt it turned out beautifully... my vote for the binding would definately be A
Hi Amanda,
Amazing blog!!! I definitely choose ...D for binding.
Adorable quilts! I'll look for your book!
Have a look at my blog I’ll be glad.

Definitely F on the bias!!
A first choice, but the gingham is pretty, too. I would do red! Very pretty quilt, as usual :)
I can't decide between a and b... can't wait to see the finished product! yay!
I'd go for A :)
I'll throw in a vote for A.
I like choice D the best.
Choice A for sure! Most of the others are too much like the quilt. The large scale of A provides a nice contrast to the rest of the fabrics.
I keep going back to choice A - the red print from 1934. That's my hands down favorite! Can't wait to see it finished.
choice A
Red ginham :)
l like F for a pop or B for more of a low value blending look. Its fun to help pick fabs!
Choice A
Definitely choice A, some of the other choices are too muted or too similar to other fabrics used.
I'm liking A the best.
I prefer A or E. Both very nice!
I really love A !!
I like Choice A, 1934 by Cosmo Cricket for Moda, my second choice would be E, it blends in with the quilt. I am glad you had some time to get this one done.
I love the feel of B.
I choose A- so cute!
My choice is A
E first choice. A second choice. Good luck figuring out what 250 people think!
I like choice A, 1934 by Cosmo Cricket and I would go with the middle fabric for the backing :o) just me though! I'm sure whatever you chose it will work great! Sarah
definitely option A! the others are blah, but that one really works.
choice F
I would say A or F but that's just me! :)
I like A and F. I am partial to red anyway, but for this quilt, too. I would cut them both on the bias, if it was me. I just like that! ;-)
A or F
F is sharper than A
to me it seems that the others don't really give the quilt an end or finished look.
B
I like the red gingham.
Debi
F of course!!
I like A..there isn't a wrong choice in the bunch tho, is there?
I like A!!!
First choice is A, second is F. It is so pretty!!
OK, I totally take it back...I picked A and F for the color POP. That kinda isn't the point, LOL...so I would go with E and then B, both more in keeping with low volume (IMO) LOL...
F! I have an obsession with red gingham though ;-)
either of the RED ones. RED is always my first color choice! sandy
Soooo.... what did you decide?
I like the first one best!!!!
I would pick F.
Wow! HAving so many choices can be a blessing and a curse. LOL. I would probably choose one of the reds, most likely A.
I think choice A is my favourite! It's going to be beautiful...
Option ONE hands down! No quilt is ever finished without a splash of red! And I LOVE the middle print for the back! OHHH I can't wait to see what you choose! (But I just KNOW that is what you will choose! LOL)
I´d like choice F
