A Scrappy Quilt with a Scrappy Binding to Match!

Here's another scrappy improv quilt much like my first one – except bigger!

I was learning the technique where you join two strips of binding by sewing them right sides together to make one long continuous strip.

My basic idea was to have different height strips of my coloured fabrics attached at that 45 degree angle like a quilt binding.

I had all the triangles I’d cut off when making the 45 degree joinings. And so of course I wanted to use them all up!

I opted for a light aqua colour on top and white for the bobbin.

I made a quilt label to cover the biggest exposed corner and hand sewed it down along with another white strip of fabric.

[{"selector":"#anim-44f718b7-cf1f-4265-96c1-c6bb57370cf1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d9fe01c3-6c12-4e0f-9ec4-e27e7f80340f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

The long and short of it is that I made far too much work for myself and ended up really over-quilting this.
