I'm with kitzie, there is no rhyme or reason to my scrappy bindings. If it starts to look like one color is to long, I cut it down and reattach somewhere else. The bigger the quilt the longer the binding colors.

No rhyme or reason for me either. I keep a bin of leftover pieces of binding and just pull them out and stitch together until I have enough. I miter the ends of the strips and connect the ends this way and it doesn’t seem to matter if the seam ends up on a corner.

I did a scappy binding on my King quilt. I absolutely love the look! I just took various lengths and made them all 2.5 inches (my preference) and it went fine. I plan to do it again as I really like it.

I must be more structured as I would never dream of using varied segments. Ha! Love the scrappy look and frequently use leftover bindings for mine. Thanks to Iceblossom for the solids idea....love it!!
