I managed to get the stupid HP copier to scan this time, so here is what I came up with. I don't know, I think maybe the other responses make more sense, but maybe this will help....
hhmmmm?

MTS ... thanks ... I just checked those out. I'd never thought of putting piping on with the binding. I like that idea. Would sure need a steady and straight stitch to be sure the piping stays even looking. Haven't worked with piping for years, though I remember squished tight piping and then poofy piping down sides of things! ick!! :)
Not sure if that's for this quilt?
Maybe I should have posted a picture before ... here's the OBW and what I am working with. I am not putting borders on, as the pattern is such a large repeat. The back will be totally in the original fabric and the points will be cut off, for straight sides.

Yes, my plan is to use the same fabric for the binding.
About the piping .... what do you use for your cording? and how large?
Wonder ... do you think I could include piping on edge of the binding, for the backside??

Also, batiks look almost the same on both sides. Would it be possible to make a single layer ruffle with a small hem by using a coordinating batik? - or would it look like an add-on?

Binding I'm good with ...
EXCEPT I have this idea that I'd like to have a gathered strip of fabric that would stick out from the binding and the quilt (kind of like how a petticoat would hang down from the bottom of a dress).
How would you do this?
Please? and Thanks!!
(sorry, not sure if I've explained this right)
