You will need approx. 8 inches WOF for the binding, or you can use packaged binding.

A couple of the fabrics I chose are 2 yard pieces so I chose one for the binding.

Now it's time to just cut the fabric into random pieces. I just use triangles, rectangles and squares. I stacked 3 folded fabrics (6 layers) and cut 3 different width strips. I think they were 2 inches, 3.5 inches, and about 5 inches. I then cut the strips into smaller shapes. Next, I'll do the other 3 fabrics I chose. I don't necessarily cut it all right now, I can always cut more later if I need it, but I like to have a big pile to start with.

My first 3 fabrics cut into shapes
