A pieced binding would be nice -- particularly if you still have bits of fabric from the quilt that you can slip in every once I while.

I've done this several times and it always looks cute. However, I might not use this technique on a busy border or quilt.

Hope you figure something out and please show us your finished work.

DottyMo hope u get to feeling better. Binding is always a scary thought if not enough fabric left. I particularly do not like ribbon on a quilt. Audition different fabrics next to your quilt from your stash. If nothing strikes your fancy, then call a friend when better and take a shopping trip. Sorry pics will not load.
