I am making a wall hanging and the prints I want to use for the border and binding I only have fat quarters of. How would you use these without it looking too pieced? Should I just reconsider and go buy a different yardage? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It might depend on your print. I have sewed a wedge in the center of each side when I didn't have enough length. It worked out very well

If it was mine - I would lay the fabric I have around the wall hanging and see if it looks too busy. After all the work you put into it you want it to look perfect- so If in doubt get the perfect fabric.

pictures would help

I love this idea! :thumbup:

Without seeing a pic I would say maybe get yardage for what you need if you think what you have would bother you.
It really depends on the fabrics.

sizes too!

Maybe this will help?

That is absolutely awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this.

you're welcome :)

Thanks Mzzzquilts. I watched this and was blown away. Thank you. I really don't want to buy different colors because it took me too long to find the ones I have. They are both small prints so I think it will work. If I get it done I will try and post it. Sorry I couldn't post pics but I don't remember how my daughter showed me. Maybe she will come into town again soon or can talk me through it.
