what bininig

Sofi was sick, so I stayed home two days this week & made a big dent in quilting projects... now that she is better I have her cold.. :o(

I posted a pic of my last project, a playmat for a friend whose newborn kid has two quilts already (his grandma is a quilter too). I was inspired by Kaffe Fasset caravan of quilts book: the 5 de mayo quilt (that one is very red though). Great book, I am making the fabric trays next. So, what colour would you use for the binding? The backing is magenta flannel with swirls in all primary colours (nobody knew the gender, I wanted to over all bases, but my gut feeling that it was a boy was right, hence the blue quilt!)

I don't know what color binding you should use, but I sure do LOVE that play mat! What a great idea!

As soon as the picture popped up, my brain said it has to be red! It could be another warm color, like yellow or something, but red would really set that baby off!

It's positively beautiful! Congrats on another great project!

I know everyone so far has said red, but I vote for purple!

That is a wonderful playmat Marissa. Red would look good but I would probably go the bright blue in the ex-ray cat background. I love that quilt. What a happy fun quilt it is. Hope you and the whole family are better soon. Taria

Piggy backing to say GMTA. That is exactly what I thought the minute I looked. Yellow would be striking. The magenta backing put me off until I read that it had primary color swirls. I think that yellow would be great.

that's it, jagged edges... Kaffe says it is not hard to bind... I'll see. Not sure how to calculate how muh binding to make though (I know, a lot more than I think!)

the kids dad is a great guy, I love work> Marissa:
