I didn't say it in my other message, but your quilt is gorgeous and gives me hope that some day I will finish mine!

I wonder if you could bind it the way that a facing on a garment is done? The facing is the same shape as the edge you want to finish - on the one side, and the other side can be a straight or curved edge. Sew the shaped edge to the one you want to finish, right sides together, then turn and press. You could then just stitch down the straight edge on the back. Sort of like binding but gives a nice clean edge finish (like a sleeveless armhole on a blouse).
