Thanks you guys... good info......I think I will use it for the binding..but what about using it for the sashings? I don't figure on using it for the back (or should/could I?) and the sashings in the middle of the blocks...you wouldn't "feel" it much even if you put the front to your body instead of the other way around. And what about the outer border? I figure satin for the border AND the binding? But...I think that it might look odd if the border/binding were shiney satin and the sashing between the blocks were just flat cotton black color.
