Thanks everyone for the nice comments :-P
I have some Christmas fabric and I'm hoping that I have enough of the stripe for the binding. Have never done a "bias" binding before but have found some great tutorials on this site! I think it would look cool if the striped fabric for the binding angled like a candy cane.
That would look great! Bias binding is easy, you will do fine. I haven't looked at the tutes here but IMHO cutting bias strips and joining them together at right angles (so you end up with a diagonal joint seam) is easier then the method where you cut two giant triangles and sew them into a parallelagram, mark it then sew it into a tube and cut one continuous strip from the marked lines. I always seem to have trouble lining up those marked lines correctly when sewing into the tube.
