I'd go for a darker shade of the slate.<br /><br />2. Keep the unusual edges for the edge of the quilt. Cut strips of fabric (wider than the missing triangles). After quilting, sew along the seam line. Folding on the seam line, flip to the back and slip stitch to the backing. This is a great way to do scalloped edges without bias binding too.Dayquilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14846837178005726934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-7990880652812545502011-08-08T03:57:13.411+10:002011-08-08T03:57:13.411+10:00This is a great idea to make use of the scrapes in...This is a great idea to make use of the scrapes in the stash.<br /><br />Thanks SEW as usual for your wonderful ideas.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746278602992330412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-28667186524825961152011-08-04T06:00:25.799+10:002011-08-04T06:00:25.799+10:00What about just binding it with this outside edge ...What about just binding it with this outside edge as is?

That pic with the background for the edges looks GREAT, and that is what it would look like with a matching outer triangle/binding :) Great job on the quilt top though - I always avoid making quilts with y-seams!Cascade Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341289311392432737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-44974965756475059322011-08-03T01:46:15.601+10:002011-08-03T01:46:15.601+10:00Your quilts are so gorgeous!
