I love the pinwheels and it's going to be a beautiful gift. Keep it on the "small" side so that it can be hand;ed easily after surgery. Maybe use a lighter weight batting too because heavy blankets are not good. You're doing great so far!

speaking from experience...lighter/smaller quilt is a must for these reasons...(a).easier to lift after surgery and during chemo.
(b) Go thru hot/cold spell (c) can be handled with you when moving from room to room.
That is a BEAUTIFUL quilt made with love, thoughtsfulness and kindness...so whatever you feel comfortable with binding, u go girl!

The colors are so pretty. And you did such a great job piecing.
