I would not try it on this though, you have all the seams along the edge and then several seams in the binding, I would think it would be hard to make it lay nicely. You will want to cut your binding on the bias anyway for the scalloped edge anyway. Secondly, I think a solid binding will give it a much nicer finish.<br />BunkHouseQuiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061472196989821885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264933645170736932.post-67927288377126467252013-11-01T15:50:15.797-06:002013-11-01T15:50:15.797-06:00Have you tried auditioning pieces of fabric agains...Have you tried auditioning pieces of fabric against the quilt? I'd think a lighter gray than the background fabric might look nice - not too matchy matchy with the background but not competitive with the wonderful scrappiness of the rest of the quilt.pcflamingohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206688121231793996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264933645170736932.post-19874320724999807362013-11-01T14:43:45.765-06:002013-11-01T14:43:45.765-06:00It's a great quilt.

(If the tutorial you found doesn't mention that, look for another one!) You could use a different fabric for each binding strip you need to cut to go all around the edge, but cutting bias strips leaves awkward leftovers in the stash, might not want to do that with too many different fabrics, Any scrappier than that might be way more trouble than it's worth, because every additional seam will interfere with the bias flexibility.<br />Venus de Hilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00424101811517659566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264933645170736932.post-19228608421192240202013-11-01T11:02:58.135-06:002013-11-01T11:02:58.135-06:00So gorgeous!
