One of the medium shades in the quilt would be my best guess. I think the red (if it's the same intensity as the block) might show up just as much as the brown. The quilt is so soothing and will provide someone with much cuddling and comfort.Lisa Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12502089801927429325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511944874584135872.post-7137325544190931842012-03-15T03:23:48.053-04:002012-03-15T03:23:48.053-04:00I'm a red lover but on this quilt it has to be...I'm a red lover but on this quilt it has to be the pink.Roslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16420867348224307049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511944874584135872.post-29814536907989258692012-03-15T00:56:58.653-04:002012-03-15T00:56:58.653-04:00Just nodding along as I read the other comments - ...Just nodding along as I read the other comments - the brown is too dark, the pink is too light.

But why not add just a tiny bit of the brown (maybe won't be so overwhelming) as a flange and then use the pink as binding?

I think the same as you said - pink is too light (it will disappear) and the brown is too dark. I agree with Jacque - lighter brown with some print could be nice or some soft a little bit darker red as some little flowers in those upper blocks! Good luck - it's going to be beautiful and very special! x TejeTeje Karjalainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16737386960364740858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511944874584135872.post-53075923235015867162012-03-14T16:37:33.832-04:002012-03-14T16:37:33.832-04:00I'm thinking the brown dot like that center ch...I'm thinking the brown dot like that center churn dash might work.

Hadn't thought of red, but it would certainly add a bold frame which may be what it needs. Not much help, but good luck with your choice.

I think both binding choices look good and it depends what you want the "feel" of the quilt to be. The brown gives it more of a frame that pops and a vintage feel. The pink gives more of a soft feel and blends into the quilt.
