    My shoebox is getting pretty full of left over quilt bindings. What can I do with them. They are all folded and ironed. Should I piece them together and put on a scrapy quilt ???? should I iron the flat and throw into my scape box ??? Or just throw away and call it good.....

    What width are the bindings? If they are 2 1/2" you have jelly roll strips. Or if they are a different size you can make scrap quilts or totes.

    Scrappy bindings work great addition to a scrap quilt.

    I use the leftover bindings to bind my scrappy quilts.

    I save all of my left over bindings and I use them when I make charity quilts. Nothing is too small. I just finished a 1600 quilt and I used left overs!
