binding color
I'm almost finished a scrappy quilt. For the body of the quilt I just used scraps. I thought to unify the quilt with the same fabric for sashing ,border & binding. Of course I can't get more of this fabric and I have less than a 1/4 yard left for binding. I used a med. green with white vines for border & sashing. Any ideas for binding.

I would probably use a solid, dark green that blends with the green in your border. I prefer dark bindings as they are likely to pick up the most soiling, and a dark binding usually frames the quilt nicely.

I usually try to use a dark color for binding as well. I also tend to find a color for binding that is the least visible in my quilt top to make those bits 'pop' a bit more. Not sure how this would work for a scrappy quilt but if you have a small amount of a given (darker) color within the top - that's what I would lean towards.
