You may remember my first two QAYG placemats from last week’s WIP Wednesday, well, now I’ve got the other two done too, and I need to work out what to bind them in. That’s where I’ve come unstuck, so I need your help…
Do I go black text?
Or white text?
Or navy herringbone?
Or do I stop trying to use one for all the mats, and make them just match the mats themselves? And if so, patterns or solid?
So you can see why I’m in a bind, I’d be grateful for any ideas…
Black text is my vote
White text – because they all have a bit of white in them and it will unite the four mats as a collective.
Personally, I'd go with a matching solid, to give the eye a resting place amongst all those patterns.
I like the navy print, and I like the idea of binding them all the same as it makes it a more cohesive set.
Tinking along
Well I thought black text or navy herringbone until you showed coordinating solids…hmmm I'd say if you want them to look like a set then go with the black text. If you want a set of mats that stand on their own individually then go with the matching binding.
This is exactly what I was thinking!
Like Jan I think that if you want to make them look like a set go for the navy herringbone (I like the black text but am not sure what it would look like next to the navy sections of the one on the bottom right) but if not I prefer matching prints. Good luck deciding!
My vote's for the matching solids. But I think you can't go wrong with any of your choices.
My favorite is the matching solids, followed by one of the texts.
I love the black text but the idea each in its color is my favorite
I think the matching solids.although they will look fabulous with any of those!
I vote for matching solids!
I would go with matching colours, solids. There is enough going on in the mats to not need more print on the binding.
Second choice would be black text x
I would go for matching each placemat with a solid. If you want to match them though I would pick the black text.
Im in the match the placemat with a coordinating colour camp. Those placemats are a rainbow of colour so I'd keep up the theme with the binding.

Like the navy herringbone best, but my second vote would be for the co-ordinating solids 🙂
I like the navy herringbone and feel that having the same binding will give them a sense of unity.
I like the colour matching solids but can't believe you are asking for opinions again, so soon…
Whatever you choose i think it should be the same across all 4. :o)
I like the matching solids, but the black text would look great too!
Matching solids for my choice. You know what you like so just go with what appeals to you.
I like your final option in solids… Definitely not white text for binding as it will get the grubbiest and say some red wine sploshes…. Minimise washing. That's my motto.
Navy herringbone gets my vote. Looks good with them all!
depends if you want them to look like a set (black text/navy) or not so much (matching solids). Personally I would go for the matching solids 😀
Black always looks good (to absorbe any smudges too) bu t in this case I like the solids in the same colour much much better.
My vote is for all those great SOLIDS
Matching – navy herringbone!
Mix it up! These are looking awesome 😉
I'd do the solids to match each color combination. These are fantastic!
I choose the navy or black :-). They look lovely btw x
Suspecting you have finished by now and I am off the thinking-hook!
Match each colour combo, but you've probably already finished!
If I'm not too late- black text!
I'm late in reading this so you have probably already decided. I'll wait and see what you do.
I'm very late to the party here, but I'd stick to individual mat colours. And use solids.
Am I too late? Black text!
