My shoebox is getting pretty full of left over quilt bindings. What can I do with them. They are all folded and ironed. Should I piece them together and put on a scrapy quilt ???? should I iron the flat and throw into my scape box ??? Or just throw away and call it good.....

What width are the bindings? If they are 2 1/2" you have jelly roll strips. Or if they are a different size you can make scrap quilts or totes.

Gosh darn didn't even think of that, most excellent idea

That's what I was thinking. LOL

Scrappy bindings work great addition to a scrap quilt.

same here. Or you can make a scrappy quilt and have a scrappy binding.

"Just throw away"?????NOOOOO. I would do a scrappy for sure :!:

I use the leftover bindings to bind my scrappy quilts.

this is what I did with some of my left over bindings (2 1/2")

I save all of my left over bindings and I use them when I make charity quilts. Nothing is too small. I just finished a 1600 quilt and I used left overs!

I make a lot of hot pads from extra blocks, left over fabrics, etc. Use them to bind these, seems I can always find one that fits, color wise. I cut mine on the bias so there are few options.

KS Quilter - you beat me to it. When we visited my in-laws last weekend my wife burned her finger pulling something out of the oven with the one pitiful potholder her mom had. We decided we could make some potholders and send them to her. We have pieced several together with scraps from our most recent projects, and I finished one today using leftover binding from one of the quilts. The potholders are a great way to use scraps of all kinds - blocks, partial blocks, batting, and binding.

these are all GREAT ideas..after all you bought that fabric, why throw it away?
