scrappy binding on jelly roll quilt
 

I changed my mind at the last minute on the binding of this quilt. I had planned to go with the blue of the last border, but decided to try to use up the rest of the strips from my jelly roll. 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.

I think it is great! I did a scrappy binding on a quilt before and I loved how it turned out! Good way to use up those orphan strips and keep the theme of the fabrics used! Nice job!

I think it looks wonderful! I love the scrappy look binding.

it looks great... i love a scrappy binding.

I can see it and I love it. It is the perfect binding. Barny

Thanks. I may have to make a scrappy binding again. It really looks much better than I thought it would!

Dina

Yes I can see it looks good.

I do like the look it gives to the quilt! Great use of the leftover bits.

It really works beautifully. Well done.

I like that a lot! What was your jelly roll?

Perfect! Great quilt.

I think the binding adds a lot of zip to the quilt! Wonderful quilt!

I bought this jelly roll at Tuesday Morning about a year ago. I am looking at the fabric string that held it together, and it says Stripz. The tag says Quick Cuts Stripz...color-coordinate fabric pack. On the back of the tag it says style#3602 Peaceful Planet, made in Pakistan. It is cotton and has 3.5 yards of strips. I have no idea if it is still available anywhere. Hope this helps?

Thanks Dina! The colors are really pretty. I think I've seen the Stripz brand sold at our Hobby Lobby.

I like it!

I googled Peaceful Planet jelly roll fabric....just for fun...and one place it took me to had two rolls, each on sale for $19. I didn't find it anywhere else, nor do I remember where I saw the rolls....but you might play and see what you find.

I love your quilt-I do scrappy bindings sometimes just to mix it up a bit

Very nice, I save all my left over bindings and do this on scrap quilts.

I always normally use my left over fabrics to do my binding...less scrap and I do not use up my good yardage. Your quilt is beautiful!

I love your scrappy binding! Your quilt is beautiful! It is a job well done.

I love the scrappy look on bindings - your quilt is great.

Looks very nice

I love the scrappy binding! In fact, I love the whole quilt--so cute!

Looks great!! It was a good idea.

Oh my word...you have my cat sitting on your quilt. I have a kitty that could be this one's twin. I love the quilt and scrap binding!!!

I use scrappy bindings all the time.....good choice!

It looks great and certainly ties in well with the rest of the quilt.

I love using a Scrappy binding. It takes a little bit more time putting together all of those pieces, but I like the finished results. Great quilt!

Very attractive way to finish the quilt and cut down on the scraps too....I do this quite often when nothing seems to work for binding.

I love it! I've often heard about a scrappy binding, but I've never seen one. I really like the look!

I like it!

It turned out great! I have used scrappy binding also, I find I really like it.

I think it really adds to the quilt. beautiful.

It's really, really nice! I love what you did with the binding.

Looks great!

I like the scrappy binding, great idea!!!

There is not ONE thing about that quilt that I don't like. It says "perfection" to me.

Looks great! I often make scrappy binding especially when using a jelly roll for the quilt.

I really like it. Great job!
