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.

I changed my mind at the last minute on the binding of this quilt. I had planned to go with the blue of the last border, but decided to try to use up the rest of the strips from my jelly roll. There weren't enough of any one fabric, so I just cut them in 14 inch segments and put them in the same order they were in the quilt. 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.

I like the idea of using up your scraps for the binding. It doesn't distract from the quilt and still adds a little color. I think I will use your idea on my scrappy quilt I've just finished. It's bordered and sashed with black, so a little pop of color will help it. Thanks for sharing your idea.
