Quilt WIth Scrappy Binding

I got the idea for this when I was learning how to bind my first quilt. I was learning the technique to join two strips of binding to make one long strip.

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

Scrappy Strips

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!

STEP 2

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

Basting Errors

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

Thread Choice

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

Covering up Mistakes

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