Lots of great ideas. Thank you all.

I will be using straight grain. Bias binding scares me. With the crunch I will be sticking with what I know.

The Fatt Batt is from Joann's. Matter of fact, it was at my door when I returned home this evening. Unfortunately, there is not much loft to it. I have it spread out..maybe it will magically puff up more and it will be more lofty by tomorrow evening.

I like to machine sew the binding to the front, then turn it to blind stitch by hand the binding to the back side. If my quilting doesn't go all the way to the edge on previous projects, I have machine basted around the edge before attaching the binding.
