I overestimated how much binding I needed for the quilt I finished yesterday. Are there any good ideas for what to do with the leftover 2 1/2" strips?

I use them to do pieced bindings on scrappy quilts, or they will work to make strip quilt blocks by adding others with them.

How much do you have--enough for a wall hanging or kids' blanket. Is it on the bias or straight of grain. If it's sog, just use it as you would jelly roll strips.

I cut them into squares and use them for leaders/enders for chain piecing

I will save the used left over binding and sew together and bind a charity quilt with it or some crazy just because project with it.

Scrappy binding are very easy to do since you already have most of the work done! They look good on scrappy quilts!
