    Default Binding using multiple fabrics?

    I just wondered if it's a no-no to make binding from several different fabrics (scrappy binding???)? I am almost ready to bind the 16-Patch quilt. I originally purchased extra backing material to make the binding but now I'm thinking a contrasting binding would be nice (as per the pattern). I have so much leftover fabric, but not enough of one colour. Do people ever make binding from several fabrics or would that look kind of weird and chaotic, distracting from the quilt? Thanks for opinions!
