I can certainly appreciate staying in familiar territory if time is of the essence but bias binding is nothing to be afraid of for future projects. The hardest part is deciding which of the 10,000 different ways you'll find on youtube and other people blogs to use for cutting and joining it. It seems harder but once you start sewing with it you'll fall in love because the extra give to it makes covering up minor imperfections a lot easier. I did nothing but straight grain binding for a long time but after trying bias a few times I'm sold on it!

Good luck with whatever width binding you decide on! We want pictures of the quilt when you get a chance!
