Suggestions for binding on a scrap quilt
I made a scrap quilt using fabric from my stash but cannot decide on what to use for the binding. Since the quilt has so many colors in it, what color should the binding be? A neutral? Pieced? In an quandary.
I realized after looking at the picture that I could have placed the blocks in a more pleasing order. But it is for me so that is okay with me. Also, I am trying to learn to machine quilt and this is not very well done but it is the first larger quilt that I have done. Hopefully I will get better at it. Not so many jerky motions and corners! LOL

I do the same a quitingcandy. On my scrappy's I like to do whatever my favorite color is in the quilt. Usually it's what my mind considers to be a "beautiful color". Then I bind in either a dark brown, navy or black binding. To me it "frames" the quilt edge like a mat and a frame.

We all have to start somewhere on our quilting. Once it is done even those issues won't be noticed much. Everyone has good suggestions for the binding. That is what is nice about scrap quilts -- they can be anything and still be fun.
