The First Quilt Vision

I haven't gotten all the fabric I need to finish the quilt, so today I made the bias tape (binding) that will go around the edges and worked up my vision of what the final quilt will look like. For the binding I cut a bunch of the leftover scrap pieces into 2 1/4" wide strips of various lengths, sewed them together, ironed the seams, pulled the fabric through my handy-dandy bias tape maker tool (thanks, Becky!) and ironed. I now have about 300 inches of bias, which should be plenty to go around the edge of the final quilt.

Here is a photo I mocked up in Photoshop of what I imagine the end product will look like. The horizonal blue strips will all be the same width (3 inches) even though the photo makes it look otherwise, and the vertical and border blue strips will be 5 inches wide. The binding is 1/2 inch wide. So the final dimensions of the quilt will be somewhere around 60 x 80. It's a little on the wild side, but it's sort of neat, I think. What do you think?
