This is a quilt I made in honor of a wonderful anniversary trip that my husband took me on to McCall 2 years ago. We went fabric shopping together! and we picked out these fabrics. Outside our hotel room were these gorgeous tall trees. So now I need to bind it and my quilt group suggested that I do it in a fabric that picks up all the colors but not in black. what are your suggestions?
This is called Spring Explosion. I did the top in 2006 and had no reason to hurry and finish as I usually do with quilts. So it's been in the closet waiting till I had time to go to Mom's to quilt it. I am very pleased with how the quilting turned out and it really makes it pop! As usual the photos don't do it justice. I used a pink holographic thread from Superior to do the flowers and they sparkle just enough. I love that thread it never breaks on the large machine! I always quilt smaller than I intend to but this one turned out just right. I feel I am making real improvements in my quilting. I want to bind this one in the same green as the border to make it unnoticeable. What do you think?

could a marbled green work for binding? Picking up all the colors?
