I decided on the dark blue for the binding. Now I just have to get around to actually cutting it and making it into binding. I pondered working out the lengths and putting a different color on each edge, but decided that a single color would tie the whole thing together better.
The reason that I originally mentioned using the white material was that it is much heavier (and durable?) than anything else I have. My "stash" is also lousy with the stuff because over the years I have made several karate gis, and I need to find a way to get rid of it. The pieces, however are mostly long and thin and I can't really think of any thing other than binding to make out of it.
