Sorry you're having problems with this quilt. Set it aside for a few days then go back to it.
Bindings don't have to be all one fabric. I've made some beautiful bindings by cutting varying lengths of all the different fabrics in the quilt and sewing them together randomly.
It was a big piece of fabric 10 yrs ago, but has been used many times in small quantities. I purchased the binding & simply miscalculated how much I'd need. I bought two packs because the first quilt I made I used an actual pattern & it called for 6 yds & it worked. Finances are tight, so I've been nickel & diming it. I'll get through this, but this quilt is not on favorites list. :-)
