Why not pink binding? It is a WONDERFUL combo (imho). Thanks so much for the suggestion and for the picture. When I finish my Ohio star quilt it will be both primitive and whimsical. P.S. If you decide you hate the combination then I will be more than happy to take that quilt off your hands. Yes, I would do that for you. :)
Do you think maybe the pink binding was done to add a feminine touch for a little girl rather than leave it all blue which she might have thought looked more for a little boy? Whatever the reason, it is a very nice little quilt. ---"Love"
Hello Ann, I also would be happy to take it off your hands, especially because today is my birthday and my name is ANN!!! The pink binding looks fabulous and not something I would be brave enough to try so this was a fab picture to see. Ann ~ Australia
love this little quilt , oh the border is great too and ah yes the pink binding the perfect end to this little quilt! I am really becoming a blue person , I see a few blue and white quilts in my future! ok so what book is on the table????? you knew I would ask :)
It's always interesting to see historical pieces, and wonder why they did something;) I've been playing in some of their practices...fabric substitution, piecing pieces of patches, etc. Having a blast;) Happy Quilting!!
Now I see why you suggested it, thought it was a good idea, but a picture is worth a thousand words. I love the border as well. I will have to keep that in mind for a future project. Isn't it great how we can still be so inspired by century old quilts.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your suggestion! And if you don't want to give Taryn your antique quilt, I will be happy to take it off your hands. :o)

ReplyDeleteHappy Quilting!!
The question of the pink binding reminds me of something my Mom used to say..."just to make you ask questions!"
ReplyDeleteI would have never thought of it, but it is cute.

ReplyDeleteI wonder if that was pink 100 years ago? Red would look good, too.
