In my To-Do Tuesday post, I asked everyone for input on which binding color I should use on the Dancing Plus quilt. It was so fun to see what each commenter thought, and I have to admit that I was influenced by each of you. Each time I read a comment, I would think - okay, I'm going with the Kona Lagoon, or okay, I'm going with the gray Grunge! Here's how the results turned out:
Kona Lagoon: Grunge in gray: Either:
8 10 4
Pretty close! Ultimately, my decision was based on exactly what Deb A. said: if I want the binding to stand out, pick the blue; if I want it to blend in more, pick the gray. So, I picked... the gray.

I don't think I voted, but I approve of your choice!
Nice backing fabric. The lighter gray binding looks good. Enjoy your slow stitching. Cute penguins!
I don't remember which I picked but it looks great the way it is!
It's going to finish up as a lovely quilt. Maybe the Lagoon will finish the Zipper quilt when it's ready. Who knows? That's the beauty of our art. We never know exactly where the road will lead us.
Such lovely projects, Diann. You definitely chose the right binding. It will make a lovely finish.
I didn't get a chance to vote, but I agree with Deb's assessment (and your choice to bind in the gray.) Enjoy your weekend of slow stitching, Diann!
Great choice - it looks really good. I like that zipper block with the bright colors splashed in there. And of course the penguins. ;)
I love that penguins find their way into your projects!
Your color choice for the binding was perfect. And those penguins are adorable in the Split 9 block. A cute surprise when someone finds them.
Great advice from Deb A, looks wonderful.
Binding! Zipper blocks! Split Nines! so much color and fun here. Go Diann!! xo
I really like the lighter gray you chose! All those colorful hand stitched pluses really pop! I like the split nine patches a lot! I’m resisting the urge to make some of those! Maybe for 2024! Grin! Hope your weekend slow stitching is productive!
Awe, I'm blushing! I like the light grey you chose. Perfect fit for that quilt. Love the penguin fabrics. I might have thought of you both days in Atlanta when I saw a Penguin Coke mug and at the aquarium! The zipper blocks and split nines look great. I'm off to make some dark green ones soon.
I like your choice of binding!
Good advise and choice on the binding, and sure like those zipper blocks.
The light gray looks perfect for the binding, Diann and I like also the backing fabric. Owo sweet little pinguins!!
looking good
Nice binding! And zip-a-dee-doo-da for the zipper blocks, the split nine patches, and the penguin fabric!
I like your binding choice! That penguin fabric is extra cute!!!
Love your zipper blocks, such great colours. The penguin fabric is lovely!
I like the grey binding! Fun to see your RSC blocks! You're so ambitious, doing more than one block!!! Happy slow stitching!!!
I know I said blue, but I sure like what I see of the lighter gray binding! The zippers are really cute but those split nine patches sure caught my eye.
Your zipper blocks are so fun to look at!
The binding is perfect!
Great projects! I think the binding is perfect also!
Good choice with the binding. I love those RSC blocks. They will make a great eye catching quilt!
Great choice Diann. I can not wait to see the quilt finished. Happy Sunday
Oooh, lovely, your Dancing Plus is almost finished!
I love, love, love the split nine patches! The penguin fabric is fantastic. I do like the grey binding. I missed that post.
The grey binding is a lovely fit for your quilt. Those zipper blocks look fabulous together. I always expect to see a little penguin sneaking into one of your blocks, Diann.
The gray is great -- and so are all your green projects!
You chose well for the binding - it will let those little plus blocks shine!
I voted for Lagoon but I really like the lighter grey you selected. Yes, those penguins are adorable!
