Binding for Glorious



Option No. 1




Option No. 2




Option No. 3




Option No. 4


At this point, I narrowed the choices to Options 3 and 4




Option 3




Option 4

Can you guess which one I chose?




Option No. 4

Why?

I like the mottled nature of the slightly-darker 
and less-yellow'ish green background.

I like the seemingly random appearance 
of the design's darker green.

And I like how the scrollwork design 
reminds me of wrought iron garden gates.




The binding strips have now been cut and pressed.

One day soon I'll get it sewn on 
and start finishing it by hand.

Interesting. I thought you would go with option 3. Well, at least, that would have been my pick. Looking forward to seeing the freshly bound quilt!

Fabulous choice. Auditioning a few fabrics helps you to know you've picked the right one.

My choice is the same as Julie's. I thought # 3 was a bit dark, and I like that the darker design on # 4 will appear and disappear as the binding goes along, making the binding more interesting.

Good call. I bet you are excited to see this finished.

Great choice for binding and so nice to see closeups of the fabrics and quilting of Glorious.
