I had to piece the back and I don't do any fancy quilting so I only did the stitch in the ditch.

You should do a tutorial on this faux binding complete with pictures. I would love to "see" how it's done.
What is a faux binding? Your topper is beautiful and nothing looks "faux" to me!
It is a fake binding, if you look at the back of the topper you will see there isn't any binding. I sew a strip to each side of top. Lay out batting, then back right side up, then topper right side down. Sew around leaving an opening to turn. Does that make sense?

The one I have is called Happy Holidays from Atkinson's Designs. I made one for Christmas for my table but it didn't look nothing like hers. My triangles did not line up very well. I want to take another shot at it and do better, we will see.
