Okay so I did do a narrow border in some of the small strips I had left over. I still have enough to do one more row of strips all the around, should I?

One more narrow row will repeat the double rows of the sashing. Then, what binding will you use?

Good question. I have no clue. After I do another row around the outside I will not have any of the Connecting Threads fabric left. I do not have enough of any one fabric to do a binding and I will have to wait I guess until the end of the month to go buy anymore. My payment for student loans just ate up 433 dollars for this month.

So, could you use that last strip from binding?

OR! That lime green wide border is very wide. How about ripping {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{i know}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} ripping the narrow border off, take a little of the green to use for binding, then replace the narrow border, and then use the green for binding. How's that?

You have been busy! Looks great. How about using your narrow "border"the scrappy one from the FQ's) as your binding?--you'd still get to see all those scrumptious fabrics and get a smaller effect for your edge without having to buy more fabric. :wink:
