Finally finished BOM
 

Made the blocks for this BOM about 15 years ago. Finally decided to finish it. Didn't buy the finishing kit at the time and didn't know what to do about the border, sashings, and binding but decided to try using fabrics I already had. Used white tone-on-tone for borders and sashing but didn't know what to use for binding. Ran across a Moda jelly roll that I had bought several years ago. Many of the colors matched colors in the blocks, but of course not enough of any one color to go all the way around. So i picked out 10 strips that matched or closely matched colors in the blocks and cut in six inch pieces to make the pieced binding.[ATTACH=CONFIG]617445[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]617446[/ATTACH]

Very pretty quilt and really love the binding. You are very creative.

I love BOM or swap quilts each so different and fit so well as a quilt. How lucky you are with all the blocks going together perfectly! Love your quilt.

Pretty quilt - love the colors. The binding is great.

Very nice quilt. Always good to shop and find matching in our own closet !

Love the colors, great job !

Sounds like you were lucky to find some good coordinating materials! I’ve put a project on hold, and then regretted not completing it sooner, as I ran out of fabric and had to scramble to find something that I’d be pleased to add to my ufo! Well done and the colors and lovely!
