In a Bind - II





I have an Elephant Brain ~ somtimes. I remembered this post from Mrs G. in October and started my own scrappy binding. As you can see there hasn't been much binding going on around here but I do have a start and that is what gets you on the way to the yards you need for a scrappy binding!



Blogging sure helps a young Quilter learn a few cool tips. I don't even have to leave my haven. Good thing because it's getting hot here in Florida and us MS'ers don't thrive in the heat. Just a fact.

I love scrappy bindings -- makes it a whole lot more interesting when one is stitching them down!

Can't tell you how many quilts I have around here that have scrappy binding! I love scrappy!

Scrappy binding is such fun - and sometimes a necessity when I forget and cut up the fabric I intended to be the binding. Ooops. :-)

Although I haven't done a scrappy binding yet, I know it's in my future.

We've got the same brain...
I can remember that so & so posted about this & such, but stuff I need to remember - forget about it

If I was an organized person I would be saving all those bits of binding and string them all together....but alas, organized person is the last thing I am -- heavy sigh.........

My mom used this on a quilt and I think it turns out beautiful and fun! A very cool binding treatment!

I'm so glad the elephant resides in your brain, Karen! He has been in and out of mine latley!
Cheers!

You'd love this ND weather. (It does get warm...but not yet.) And I have internet. And lots...LOTS of fabric that you could play with.

Just sayin'.... ;-)

I never thought to sew all the left over bindings together. I keep them and use them on potholders and other projects.

I'm lovin' the looks of your scrappy binding. Thanks for reminding me of Mrs. G's wonderful post.
