Of course if I was making something like a small table runner or wall hanging I would have to make the strips shorter in order for the binding to be "scrappy".
Just looking for some suggestions/advice on how to make the binding. Thanks!

Thanks for posting this. I'm about to add a scrappy binding to a quilt for the first time. The advice is just what I needed.
