Thanks to all who replied but I guess I'd better do it the old fashioned way with a binding because I want to quilt it and that appears not to be a good idea if you birth the quilt.
I'm making this for my sister's 82nd. birthday to try and cheer her up. Her DH of 62 years has azheimer's and she's not coping well since she doesn't drive and can't get out. He's beginning to go downhill quickly.
