All the ideas look great.

I keep a box with leftover binding and when I do a scrap quilt, I have scrap binding, too. It's a great way to use up the leftovers...
|
You all have given me such great ideas. How do I decide? lol
|
They are perfect for scrappy jelly roll quilts.

I save all left over binding strips; here is One of two jars I use to store them in.

Thanks for sharing a picture. |
Save and make a scrap binding cuts your work in half.
|
I have been practicing free motion feathers on squares with padding for potholders/hotmats. I bind the edges with extra binding strips. When in cutting mode, I always make extra. Hey, I can't throw anything away.
|
Save the leftover bindings and use them on a scrap quilt. The more different bindings the better.
|
I cut my bindings at 2.25". When I'm cutting and sorting scraps and the scrap piece isn't big enough for 2.5", but I can get a binding strip out of it, it goes in my binding box with leftover binding. When I do a scrappy quilt, I will have plenty to choose from.

See my avatar quilt? Lots of biding surpluses there.
Or you can use them to bind a placement/mugrug/hotpad. RST |
I accumulate them and use them on scrappy quilts for their binding.
|
I save them and use them on another project -- usually piecing the binding for a scrappy quilt or a small project.
|
I save all mine in an attempt to make my own jelly rolls!
|
tote or purse handles?
|
I love to use scrappy bindings on scrappy quilts.... I always make extra, roll it up and keep in a drawer to be used later for bindings or trim binding on potholders or any number of other projects.
|
Check out the 1600 quilt pattern. It is mad from jelly rolls which are 2 and 1/2ins wide
|
I save left over pieces, then sew them together for a scrappy binding.
|
I don't know if anyone mentioned this already, but I cut mine into 2 1/2 inch squares and throw them into a bin and use them for leaders and enders. Check out quiltville.com for many ideas.
|
Smaller strips can be cut into 2 1/2" squares and folded for scrappy prairie point borders...
