I chose this Brandon Mably Creased fabric of which I only have one yard for the binding of the 16 patch on point. The stripe runs crosswise so I had to decide if I would cut the strips crosswise or have shorter strips cut lengthwise.
I laid it next to the edge of the quilt and decided I liked the stripe running the long way (crosswise cut strips). Since it was an irregular stripe I didn't have to worry about fussy cutting it along the edge of a stripe.
Here is a corner where the stripes actually lined up. Bonus! I have one long side hand stitched and it will take a couple days to finish it.
I added the 3 blocks I finished yesterday. I have the strips cut for the last 6 blocks so I'll alternate sewing them with working on the hand stitching of the binding.

Neat binding--nice work.
Warm out there this early morning..looks like a warmer spell coming up for this week...hugs, Julierose
That binding looks great! I am loving that red quilt!
Your quilts are so vibrant! Thanks for sharing your process. I enjoy checking in every morning
that binding really suits it!
That quilt glows like the embers in fireplace! I'd have cut the binding the other way but now that I see yours the dark line snakes along very interesingly.
Perfect binding, love the way stripes flow around the quilt. Happy you cut it that way, it compliments that gorgeous top.
Beautiful warmth on both red quilts, I really have enjoyed your red posts.

I love that binding choice!
I think the Creased design is one of the most useful in a long time. So versatile (and in the case of your quilt, perfect).
I don't know that I would have even thought to use that crease fabric the way you did. But I love it!
And your red Another 16 Patch is gorgeous!!! You're making me think of yet another one to make!!!
That binding looks great. That's a lot of hand stitching, but it will look so nice.
