Binding Scraps

 After binding a quilt, if there is any left-over binding 

I put it in a bin in one of my cabinets.

Well, this bin was overflowing.

I couldn't fit any more binding pieces in it and

pieces were on the shelf around the bin.

 

My plan was to use these scraps for scrappy binding,

but that rarely seemed to happen.

The other day I had an idea to use the binding scraps

to make a scrappy quilt.

 

Out came the bin and I started sewing strip sets.

Once they were all sewn and pressed,

I cut them into squares.

I have enough squares for one larger quilt

and two smaller quilts!

 

 

 

 

 

I cut my binding 2 1/4" wide, so these squares will be 8 3/4" square when finished.

This larger quilt will be donated to the group that delivers quilts to the

Veterans Hospital.

 

 

 

It shouldn't take long to sew these all together

and then quilt it.

 

Once this larger once is finished,

I'll make the two smaller ones

and donate those as well.

 

 

Happy Quilting!
