They still had it at the store and I could have gone and bought more but I thought "Grandma Mac would turn over in her grave if I went to the store to get more fabric", so I pieced that one little strip. It took 4 itty bitty scraps to peice a section big enough to make that strip. I was so proud of myself. The day I got the binding on I found 3 yards of the same fabric in a closet that had been bought at a different time. It was a good lesson in keeping all my fabric in the same room.
