I had a stack of leftover cuts from the pastel quilt I put together for our guild President this year. I found just enough of the light green to sash the long rows together to get enough width. By sashing the long rows, I hope it isn't too obvious that each leftover set is a different length. I pieced several leftover binding strips to finish it off. I keep all the leftovers from bindings in a big baggie...just in case I have a project like this. The batting is pieced also.....using the fusible tricot strip. It worked like a dream. Garden of Hope is very scrappy and ended up 37 inches by 60 inches.
Debbie, Very good use for scraps.I love the colors you used. I have so many, I probably should try one too, I have left overs from a basket weave I did last spring. But they are darker colors.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out just gorgeous, didn't it!? I've never done a scrappy binding, but they always look so cool! I like your name for the quilt --perfect for the fabric and the cause!

I like the colors, Debbie. How do you join batting using fusible tricot?
