i use the off register or misprinted fabric as bindings. Sometime I can get a large chunk of fabric that will show a section of the print as each color was added. I grab it because the misprinted make great coordinated bindings for my crib quits. One time I got a bunch of fabric by the pound that was supposed to be a tropical underwater scene with tropia fish etc. The first couple yds were so smudged you can't tell what it is. but it makes great bindings.
