I've done the same thing, looked just fine with adding more binding using material that was used in the quilt. Go for it.

Yeah, "diagonally equidistant" were the words I was searching for in my post above, in case you couldn't see my hands describing it. :lol: :lol:

Nobody will notice. Just finish it the way you planned.

Great ending to your problem, but I loved the suggestions to just use a different fabric to complete the binding. I'll keep that suggestion in mind if I have the same problem one of these days.

That would be fine to have two different kinds of fabrics for binding.

I have used 'whatever' to finish the binding. Actually I divided it into two pieces and put around a couple of the corners. Gives it a little character and it is just as attractive either way.

Yippee! Solution solved with finding the fabric!! I have used scraps from the quilt for the binding before. Baby never complained!

I do scrappy binding frequently and it seems to work very well. Always try to incorporate some of the same colors as in the quilt itself.

I love mixing my binding colors :-D
