You know you’re in the home stretch when you’re ready to bind. Here are a few ideas to get you thinking about quilt binding differently:
 
Rainbow
Dig through your stash and gather a rainbow. This is the perfect opportunity to use the random scrappy binding bits too. Not sure how to start or where to begin, Sew Mariana has a rainbow binding tutorial to brighten your quilt.

Give a pop of fun and excitement, and create a bit of variation in your binding.

Scrappy
Before you throw your scraps from your quilt top into the box of doom or on to Mt Scrapmore, use it towards binding to create a cohesive look. Alternatively, dig into your scrap box or stash to make your binding.
