Getting the color right...

Last weekend I had to go get some more thread for the machine quilting.  I decided to pick up some satin binding for the quilt.  Normally, I don't use the satin binding, but it just seemed like the right choice for this quilt.  Unfortunately, the color selection at Hancock Fabrics was a bit limited due to their sale on it.  I picked up a rust color that I thought would work.

Throughout the week, it kept nagging at me.  It just didn't seem like quite the right color.  After I finished the machine quilting Tuesday night, I folded up the quilt so that I could see both the front and back with the binding laying across the top.  Tonight, I went out and bought some green binding.  It is much better.

And, it led to another project finished!

The quilt is already in use:

It also turns out to be reversible:
