Scrappy Quarter Cabin

Part 4: the scrappy finish.
I planned on trimming this quilt last week but didn't get around to it until Saturday. I cut my borders at 2.5" then trimmed them down after quilting. This helps me keep the border consistent all the way around after quilting.
I pulled out a bunch of 2.5" strips to make a scrappy binding. Scrappy bindings are generally my favorite and this was no different.
Such a happy scrappy binding! I even added a few more pieces before I was done.
I do love some swirls!
I finished the binding by machine because this quilt is going to get used. And, I wanted to be finished without having to sit under a quilt in the heat.
It is a great quilt! A special thank you to Christina Cameli and her blog A Few Scraps for this fun and free tutorial. I highly recommend her book Step by Step Texture Quilting. You can read my review in this post from July 2020 or check out the books section of her website to buy directly from the author.
