Either one will probably work great whatever you choose! Still loving this quilt and it's great transition into the black and white spotty fabric.

You are right about the Guinea Flowers - it is the perfect way to border all those prints and bring them together.

Actually, since you asked, I prefer the Guinea Flower fabric as binding. Any other binding color/print will detract from the lovely quilt center. I sure like your outdoor picture. The quilt is pretty in the tree.

I am torn between the two bindings - think I'd need to see them in person to choose (and what are you using for the backing - that could also influence my choice). That rose looks like a peony, so lush and full, and that color!

It is just enough color to show as an edge but not distracting from the quilt that is already perfect just the way it is.<br /><br />The magenta pink roses are so beautiful.

We had our first snow this week, so no flowers although I did plant tulip and lily bulbs. I have two David Austin roses and the pink one actually has a late bud on it.

I initially had a small off shoot from Bob's mum and it went berserk, then when we moved 4 yrs ago I tried again, and its amazing just now, after that recent rain. I do love 'dolly mixtures' very vibrant. And, I'm leaning towards the darker binding. It seems to support the b&w guinea flower nicely, bringing the little flowers in the border gently into focus but not takeover the scrappy "plus" impact.
