Should the binding be the same color as the border? I am doing a wall hanging for my kitchen with coffee pot panels that are done in black and deep red with some brown. The outer border is black, and the inner border is the deep red color, and I wondered if the binding should be black, or could I use the deep red color? I know there are no quilt police, but since I am not overly fond of doing binding, I don't want to do this twice. These were some cheater panels that I got at a quilt shop in White Rock, NM.
