I decided to spend this week going through the scrap bin and grabbing fabric that was appropriate for bindings. Most of these scraps came from the trimmings of backing after quilting.
I set to work cutting all the cotton scraps into 2.5" wide and the flannel into 3" wide strips. I also went ahead and sewed the strips all together. I know this pile might not look that big but I could easily hide a small child underneath it.

I divided them up into 7 grocery bags - there are about 10 bindings in each bag. I am hoping I can find a few volunteers to press and roll these for us. I have a few volunteers that are not sewers and they love to help out with projects like this. I kept about a dozen that I can use for some upcoming quilts.
I would love to say the scrap pile is gone but I am guessing I still have enough to put together about 6 more bags. And every day with we end up with more!
If you are local and want to grab a bag or two, just let me know!
