I can see the case for a facing finish as well.

If you do go with a binding, I agree with some of the others that the first option is the best of the choices you put up. It's fairly subtle but interesting too. <br /><br />LindaLinda Kittmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14050477037091909816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770575295198290940.post-33774816531113648882011-12-30T07:37:42.505-06:002011-12-30T07:37:42.505-06:00I prefer the stripe at the bottom.

I have been leaning more in that direction in my own work.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08438689262084152248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770575295198290940.post-35448043238668316032011-12-29T19:41:52.355-06:002011-12-29T19:41:52.355-06:00I don't think any of these options work.

If that doesn't seem to do it, then I'd say try the dark charcoal with a bit of red piping in the seam. It's just so busy that I think it needs something to contain it and more of that red along the outside edge.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770575295198290940.post-71069942317888238452011-12-29T19:15:52.751-06:002011-12-29T19:15:52.751-06:00I agree with Janet but lean toward facing.I agree with Janet but lean toward facing.Barbara Strobel Lardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314713622021695107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770575295198290940.post-91456826237389124142011-12-29T18:16:17.066-06:002011-12-29T18:16:17.066-06:00I like choice 1 or 4, but I'm leaning toward c...I like choice 1 or 4, but I'm leaning toward choice 1.<br /><br />JanetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
