Buggery Buggery B****** have just discovered I don't have enough of No 1, (the stripe with the brown ) In fact all I have is the binding that is already made, I will go and measure but I dont think there is enough but I have found these options ...

Of those 4, I’d go with the top one. Why is it so much easier to decide for someone else’s quilt?

The only thing I can see wrong with this is that there is purple in it which is not in the quilt

But the purple isn't super dominant, it doesn't "take over"....it doesn't drag your eye in....well, my eye anyway. :) Looks good to me.  What about the middle one in the first group? I liked that one too.

The Blurry Batik ?? is a bit sludgy (as batiks tend to be) in parts

I quite like the last up because it has some White in it ... like the Paisley's ...
its a pity I dont have an orange or yellow Paisley, that would most certainly be my choice then ...

Hmmmm, yep, I forgot about the "baby poo mish mash" you can get with multi batiks. Yep, you're right.

I would have gone for the 3rd one of the originals but I like the latest.  I think the white ties it in with the quilt.  Didn't notice the purple until you mentioned it.

Why stress yourself @Iminei ..... just choose a fabric you have enough of ( I know that  you don't have many that fit that brief  :P )  put it on, get it finished and....move on....simples  :ninja:

Bound, pinned and ready to finish!





In the end the batik wasn't too sludgy, in fact the sludgiest of the colours were a nice orange tieing in with the yellow orange blocks nicely.





I made a Flange binding as I want to Bombproof the quilt with a machine sewn blanket stitch and I didnt want
multi-coloured thread showing through on the back.

Looks beautiful @Iminei - flange bindings are so effective and easier to do than they look. :) The finished quilt is gorgeous with all those colours together. <3
