What to do with left over binding pieces
#21
Take them and sew together to make a long strip. Bring the one end and lay on top of the oher end and sew them together right sides facing each other. It will have to be cut at the end because you will have a fold. You now have 2 strips sewed together. Then take the other end and bring to other end and sew the 2 strips to the other two strips and when finished you will have 4 strips together. Do so until you get a nice quilt-probably a lap quilt. Put a border on it.
1 end _______________________________ 2end
Bring 2nd end and lay on top of 1st end and sew together.
Have done this will a jelly roll. Makes a nice quilt.

I use them to make a multi-colored binding. Since they are 2 1/2" wide, I can also use them like the precuts (lengths may be a bit different)since I cut on the straight of grain. I store them in a clear plastic, labeled tub.
