Beautiful quilt by the way. You should be proud to make something this lovely on only the second try.

The pattern is from Easy Quilts, Summer, 2008. I just enlarged the pieces to make a larger block. I wanted as much of the batik pattern to show as possible.

It saves having a separate fabric for the binding and really pulls the whole piece together. It really does look nice, especially if your backing is a solid color or tonal.

all of my left over strips are 2" wide.... will those work for the binding?
