One Corner and a Binding - W.i.P. Wednesday

I have just the little corner that's folded over to quilt, about 3 hoop's worth, and a binding to cut, sew, and stitch for this quilt to be finished.  But I have just a few days left in the month to do it if I'm going to accomplish my goal of finishing this quilt in March.  I'm sure I can finish the quilting but I'm not so sure about the binding.  Maybe I can modify my goal....

This quilt is larger than it looks in the photo above.  It's folded into 6ths and is a large twin size quilt.

Speaking of binding....  I'll have to lay it out and audition some fabrics for binding, but in the meantime, I'm considering possibilities.  I think the best option will be to use just one color but the questions are:

1. A scrappy binding or a non-scrappy binding?  Maybe the quilt is already too scrappy (read busy) for a scrappy binding?  Maybe it needs a "quiet" binding?
2. Which color?  Use a color and/or fabric that's already in the quilt or choose a neutral?

I can hardly wait to finish this quilt.  And I will never, ever set a goal to hand quilt a quilt in such a short time!  Never!  (But I may need to remind myself of that.)

I'm linking this post to W.i.P. Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.  Thanks for hosting, Lee.

P.S.  This is the last time you will see this quilt as a work in progress.  (Hooray!)
