Bust those scraps, bind that quilt

If you're like us, you've got mounds of scraps. There are always great projects for using them up, but so many of them are time intensive with all the tiny pieces, or they require buying more fabric. What's a quilter to do?

Scrappy binding is a great, simple way to use up your leftovers. Start with what you've got left from the project you need to bind, then scrounge up the remaining fabric from your stash. Plus, a scrappy binding adds a little bit of fun to the edge of your quilt.
