As part of the pattern (It was a fat quarter pattern) you cut a strip off each fat quarter (16 of them) to use for a scrappy binding, I am wondering whether to use these with the few scraps I have left to do another border on the big block, then use a plain fabric for the binding. My problem is shortage of fabrics, I have to be frugal and make do and mend, the navy blue polka dot on the wonky loggy wotsit was given to me last week, and was a double bed sized platform base valance, a good quality although a cot/poly blend, there will be enough for the back too!! :-

ok, sounds like two quilts it is...now are you asking us, what we think you should do about border, OR, what we would do, lol?
I would put some applique on big block outer border. The scrappy log wosit, is great as is, needing it's quilting of course. :D
P.S. don't mind me, I would applique the world, if it would hold still. :wink:
