I'm rather obsessed with the fresh look that a black stripe binding adds to so many of the different quilts (here and here) and SewTogetherBags I've made recently. It's my go-to binding for most projects.
I've had been asked quite often about which stripe I use and where I buy it.
The answer is: I used 2 different stripes, and I usually buy them from fabric.com or Hobby Lobby.

The smaller stripe I use is by Timeless Treasures, and you can find it numerous places online. I usually get it (here) from Fabric.com, but I also noticed Hobby Lobby carries it, too! I buy it multiple yards at a time. =) It adds a bit softer contrast, while still being fresh, classic, and unexpected.
The larger stripe is Michael Miller Clown Stripe, and gives a more dramatic contrast and flare. (Also bought here at fabric.com)
Thank you so much for posting this! I love the look of the black and white binding on a quilt!
ReplyDeleteYou're right -- the black and white stripe adds just the right amount of "zing" and it just goes great with EVERYTHING! Thanks for sharing your sources!
