I tend to keep my striped fabrics for binding as it adds a nice touch without being over whelming. Nice job on your quilt. Will have to try your idea on a quilt.

I love this! You were right, it was a very effective use of the stripe. And what a cute stripe it is.

Love, love, love that border. I'm always on the look out for fabric that stripes in that particular direction on the bolt. Seems hard to find. Good job,Willferg, really striking!

Cute. I also like the diagonal printed strips for bindings.

I love to do that with stripes. Also, cutting them on the diagonal gives a really fun look to the binding. I had one piece of fabric (not sure why I bought it, must have been $1 clearance and I was going to use it as scrap!), but it was black with small stained glass crosses on it. It looked truly awful! I had made a black top with some bright simple d9p blocks. It needed something. I cut the crosses diagonally and used it for binding - PERFECT! Just a little touch of color at the edge without really seeing what they were. Another happy accident!
