i have done a scrappy binding...scrappy on purpose. You know how you take longer strips ~ 3 inch wide by 45 (making up numbers) of 5 or 6 different fabrics, sewing them altogether, then cut them smaller, leaving strips w/ blocks 3 inch X 2 3/4 in

I then take the sections of 6 blocks and cut them on the bias and use it as binding. I did get a flat binding w/ the smaller pieces - I think it looks great, but then, I am biased!

took long strips and sewed together, then w/ rotary cutter cut them down to the 2 3/4 inches wide.

The strips that had 6 blocks sewn together were attached w/ a diagonal seam - The binding is flat.
