A Scrappy Quilt with Scrappy Binding

I was learning the technique where you join two strips of binding by sewing them right sides together at 45 degree angles on one end to make one long continuous strip.

I made blocks of completely different sizes just based on the scraps I had left and then set them in a sort of a frame (ish) pattern on the back of the quilt.

Mainly because I had one big piece of white fabric for the middle of the back and lots of smaller scraps to make up the border so my improv blocks sat in between.

For my first two quilts, I used old cotton towels for batting. I used warm and natural batting, just because it seems to get mentioned a lot by other quilters.

I briefly considered changing thread depending on which color fabric I was quilting on but then I realized that would make a fairly strange multicolored mess on the back.
