Piecing the binding is really easy. It just takes a little more time. I cut the leftover fabrics from the quilt op into strips. Sewed the strips together (I alternated a white strip between each color strip) until I had about 3/4 of a yard of the pieced fabric. I cut this 'fabric' on the bias to make my binding strips.

Once again I just want to say how stunning I think your quilt is stunning and to think it uses only 3 colors! Your choice of colors, putting your blocks on point and the binding really made an amazing quilt!

Dilyn...hate to be a dunce, what do you mean by fabrics from the quilt OP? Is it your leftover 4 patch units or your borders? What does each color measure? I would like to give it a try because your result is so dramatic so hope you don't mind my asking.

I didn't have a problem with the fleece moving. but I do polish my sewing machine with Pledge after each quilt. If you've ever over sprayed Pledge onto your floor, you know how slick It can be!!!
