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.

I think it looks great and I love the three rail fence. I also love the colors. :thumbup:

Successful choice on two fronts, love the pretty binding and it keeps those strips out of your scrap pile! Congrats!

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?

Yes, I only used one jelly roll. I am surprised at how many people told me they had this jelly roll! (different thread...when I thought I was going to use a different layout)
