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.

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.
