Default scalloped border - bias binding

I am entering unchartered territory here -- I have made a sweet baby quilt that calls for a scalloped border. The pattern wants me to cut 1 1/2" bias binding. Is this a requirement of the scallop - the stretchiness of the binding works better in the scallops? I am very happy doing a foldover binding - happy, happy, happy. I do know how to do a regular binding, but I've never done a scallop.

So I haven't cut the binding yet. What's the consensus? Bias is preferable or I can cut, fold in half, sew to front (or back) and pullover as usual?
