Beautiful! I see a scrappy binding & maybe some muslin for the back (tanish colored)

I love that quilt! What pattern did you use?

Given my nontraditional approach, I would find a black fabric with dots of all colors. I just completed a quilt and used it for the border.....made it sing.

Actually, I like the idea of using the scraps to bind! Just go for it!

There's mostly blues, but adding a dark red would really make them pop! That is a great use of scraps. Someday mine will be put in a quilt, instead of boxes. I've been saving scraps for over 30 years. :oops: :oops: :oops:

I have an idea. Use somemore of your scraps to make the back & make it reversible & use up a lot of scraps. Even a pieced binding would not be bad but a neutral would fit either side. Just a thought.

wow what a beautiful quilt. I would back with muslin and bind in black or navy. I love scrappy quilts the best. I'm doing one called "Happy Squares" but the more I use my scraps the more I have.
