I did this with a quilt I made for one of my grand daughters. The top was Yellow Brick Road pattern, I used mostly batiks, bright girly colors of deep pink, limes, purples, etc. Instead of batting I used minky on the back of the quilt. Lime green. I pulled it around to the front and it served as a frame and binding for the quilt. I hand sewed it down. The lime green really pulled it all together! It's somewhat lightweight, flexible. The soft cuddly minky side the warm side, the batiky flowery side is summery and cool. Good luck and many hours of happy sewing!
