There weren't enough of any one fabric, so I just cut them in 14 inch segments and put them in the same order they were in the quilt. I have never done a scrappy border before, but I think this looks pretty good.
What do you think? Did I make the right decision? The binding is a bit hard to see, but maybe you can get the sense of it. Dina |
I like it!
|
Successful choice on two fronts, love the pretty binding and it keeps those strips out of your scrap pile! Congrats!
|
I love scrappy bindings and your scrappy binding looks great.
|
BEAUTIFUL! You did great!
|
It looks wonderful. Beautiful.
I save my leftover bindings and use them on scrappy quilts. I just sew them together, I think from now on I will cut them in same size strips. I like the way you did yours. |
I love it! I have that same jelly roll because I loved the colors. You have inspired me to get busy and use it. Did you do this with only one jelly roll?
|
Love it!! Great idea to use the leftovers and gives it a nice finish. Good idea!!
|
Very nicely done

I see the umm quilt inspector is inspecting it !LOL Good job on the binding, and on the quilt. Great colors.
|
I think it looks absolutely perfect
|
Your binding looks great. I love your quilt, love the colors and the pattern works great! Thanks for sharing.
|
I've often thought about using my left over binding strips, but was never sure if it would look good. After seen how great your's came out, I think I'll try it.
|
Really Like it!
|
That looks just awesome, I like it alot.
|
I really like it.
|
I think it's a beautiful quilt! You did a great job.
|
I think it looks great and I am all about using the last bits of fabric so it's a WIN-WIN situation!
|
I've also done this with scraps from the quilt just made. I think it is very whimsical :)
|
I love it, I have also done scrappy bindings just because not enough fabric for planned binding & realized it does look great.
|
PS, as long as the cat approves that is what counts! LOL

I love the scrappy binding! Good choice.
|
Purrrrrrrfect!
|
I love the binding! The quilt is very nice, as well. I love the colors.
|
I love it! I think it turned out great. I'd never heard of a jelly roll in reference to quilting before but I was at Hancock's of Paducah yesterday and they had boxes and boxes of them. Very cool, I think- just wish they weren't so expensive because I think I'd really stock up on them :D
|
you definitely did the right thing...it looks great!!
|
Love it! I am finishing a jelly roll quilt in turquois and orange. Way out of my "comfort zone," and I love it. Will use this on my binding, too.
|
My quilt group did a string quilt. I made the binding. I took leftovers from the quilt itself and cut up lots and lots of bias strips and sewed them together - over 400 inches. None of the strips was wider than about 2-1/2". Once the strips were sewn together the binding itself was not bias. The quilt was gorgeous.
|
ABSOLUTELY the right decision! I love bindings done this way.
|
Looks great and love that pattern and colors are great.
|
I think it looks very nice. Nice quilt also.

I think it is really stunning. I,m going to try this.
|
I really like it funny thing as I look at it it draws my eye to follow it around and around....the quilt inspector seems to be seeing the same thing I am too!
|
It's obviously perfect for the Inspector General said so!
|
Great idea to use up leftovers. Looks good.
|
Thanks for all the nice comments!! I have to admit that it looks better than I thought it could, and I will probably make a scrappy binding again. It seems to tie things together nicely.

I love the scrappy border and your quilt inspector gives it an A+++. Thanks for sharing.
|
I think it turned out terrific!!
