Lots of Little Bindings

It's been a binding palooza around here lately!

Motivated by wanting to take my mug rugs with me to bind while on our getaway, I pulled out some binding remnants which I thought might work. I was certain that the pink gingham would be the first to be used but somehow it slipped through the screening process. 

I did have to make one in yellow gingham to finish off the blue rugs though as nothing in the pile worked. There are two and I really like them. Made from what used to be a lavender sachet cover, I just couldn't pitch the fabric so I added a strip of coordinating blue to make them large enough. Easy peasy. Very happy to have found a good use for it.

And I love this green and white polka dot with the yellow braid...

though at some point late in the process I obviously stopped paying attention when I was attaching the bindings to the rugs 😏.

And this is one of the Log Cabin rugs. The other is bound in a dark, rustic red but I don't think that I have a photo of it; you can see a corner of it in the first photo.

This one came together with a few of the tiny four-patches from Scraptastic. I've been incorporating a little of everything into those blocks but that green was just a little too contemporary compared to everything else so I moved them to this project.

A large mauve floral worked nicely with the yellow braids as well.

This was the perfect hand stitching project to have on hand and, thanks to a little help from Jane, all 11 are now finished and ready for Maggie to gift....M
