HALP! Which Binding Works?

Friends, I need your help. I'm almost ready to start binding my Sew Happy Quilt (final moniker yet to be determined).

The quilt top looks like this (I know, I know, you've already seen it a million times):
I had originally bought a pink tone on tone print for the binding, but today I picked up a cute mini harlequin in pinks and oranges that might be a tad more interesting. There's also the dark green Jewels fabric that could be the perfect frame for this sampler. And y'all know I LOVE me some jewels.
All three together

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

Please, please, please leave me a comment with your opinion. I am so torn! I can not make this decision alone. I'm counting on you, my quilty friends!

Also, please admire today's purchases. I went to Sew Sisters with my friend Sara today. I'd never been there before. It's a more traditional quilt shop that The Workroom, but they did carry some of the designers I love, like Riley Blake and Michael Miller. It's north of Sheppard which means I won't be heading up there often, but it's nice to know they exist. Plus, they had a ton of stuff on sale!
Now, puh-lease, leave a comment with your choice: option 1, 2 or 3. Thank you!

  2. Just to put the cat amongst the pigeons... I like option 2! I like the way it brings out the darks in the blocks.

  4. Hi, just discovered your blog. Lovely quilts and adorable baby! i would go with option 1 or 3; 3 might be a pain to keep the grain straight, if that's of concern to you; option 1 really complements your colors.
