The binding of the Tutti Frutti quilt is the same fabrics as the inner border, which is to say I used the same low-key creamish fabrics. For the inner border I cut the strips WOF and then cut those in half, sewed them all together end to end more or less randomly, then attached them to the quilt. The inner border is about 1-1/4" wide. I decided I liked that effect and decided to do the same thing for the binding.
I didn't have all the fabrics I used in the inner border, so I did the best I could, but I didn't add any new fabrics. If it is in the quilt, it is in the binding.
Regular readers know I sew my binding to the back of my quilt and fold it over to the front and do my hand-stitching on the front. You can get all my binding hints in my Binding tutorial
on my Etsy shop.

So now as I "watch" TV, I sew the binding down.

Be Still My Heart!! Such lovely colors in this Tutti Frutti quilt! But mostly I sat and stared at that last photo, particularly at that blue-green flowered piece with silvery accents. Mmmmmmm.
and a beautiful finish it is!
