How should I bind it and what to use for backing? This is a Karen combs pattern, 80 x 80. I just had to make it, now that I did, I don't know what to do with it. As for backing, I have a lot of fabric left over and would like to make a scrappy back, maybe. How would I do that? I am not in the mood for small pieces right now. Any suggestions?

I would make the strips much much wider and make the backing look like an enlarged block from the front. As far as the binding I'd probably use strips of each different color for the binding.
