Question:Making scrappy binding
#52
It depends on the quilt you are binding. Pieces joined end to end look good if they stay no longer than 6 1/2-inches. Perhaps would look even better at 4-inches. A serious and/or formal quilt would not be a great candidate but a really scrappy quilt or 30's repro fabrics would look very cute. If you use the pieces joined on the diagonal it would look good on a diamond pattern quilt or something in batiks.

I cut my strips (various lengths) and chain-pinned them. I LOVE the mix of colors - I had 5 minutes to start sewing, then had to leave for work. Now I'm stuck in the store because of the blizzard! C'mon boys and get those plows out - Mama's gotta get home to her quilt! :)
