If I read your ?correctly.....you want to leave the edges scallops? I would not put binding on that nor would I birth it...there is an old technique that simply turns the edges of backing and top into each other with a seam and hand sews that together......am I thinking right everyone?

In my game plan, there is no border. I saw a website that suggests paper piecing to frame the same shape as the very outer edges. sewing it to the front then flipping it to back after quilting so that the back will have that same edge and contrast with the backing fabric.

I think your issue is that you are looking upclose and personal at each piece. The finished project won't be looked at that closely to see any minor imperfection you think you are seeing. The finished project will be looked at as a whole not as individual pieces. Beautiful work!!
I agree 100% also what an awesome labor of love

If you are saying there is something wrong with it, I can't find it. It's beautiful! It makes me want to make one! All your fabric choices are wonderful.
