    I make scrappy quilts with a multi fabric binding, it looks great and I get to use more scraps.
    I notice that your quilt inspector is doing a good job of holding the quilt down so it doesn't get away.

    Yes, my quilt inspector is always there. He's worse than the quilt police!

    Your borders and binding really dress that up. Nice quilt! Cute quilt inspector, too. She looks a lot like my Pogo.

    Your quilt is wonderful and that binding idea was great. I often use leftovers for the binding. I think that it brings the quilt together.

I have never done a scrappy border before, but I think this looks pretty good.

    What do you think? Did I make the right decision? The binding is a bit hard to see, but maybe you can get the sense of it.
