I also cut my bindings at 21/4" so I have 2 uses for them (1) scrappy bindings (2) sew them together always using a bias seam wrap them on stiff cardboard and store. I plan to use them for a scrappy quilt one day but in the meantime they are all neat and tidy. Oh and I have become very disciplined as soon as a quilt is finished the leftover binding in sewn into the stash no thought goes into colour matching or style!!! To me that is a true SCRAPPY .
