I love using scraps for the binding too. 2 1/4 X 6-9 inch strips sewn together. And if you have two or three large chunks, you can piece the backing too.

Very pretty! Chocolate jumped out at me when I first looked at the picture, but I like a red border and a scrappy binding in browns.

This is gorgeous; hard to believe that you made this from scraps!

Awesome quilt! How big are your squares?

I'd go with a muslin back and perhaps a scrappy binding.

Very pretty quilt. :D Unless you need it bigger, I think I'd just use the left over strips you've used in the quilt, joined on the diagonal, of course. I wouldn't use anything under 6" in length, but I think that would look great and tie the whole quilt together. Jan

The colors are light and bright. I would do a navy border that is not too deep a hue.
