Geri,
I have always done double fold bias, they seem to wear well and since this was going on my bed with 2 pups and me, I did it that way. However I wouldnt recommend it to do the glueing bit again. I would definitely do the glueing, will try to be more conscious of the front to back division of the fabric, so the stitching down is better. I really prefer the look of be hand stitching my bindings though.
Dont be chicken to try this. It is not hard, truly the hardest part is choosing the fabrics! If you can sew a 4 1/2in 9 patch fairly accurately, thats all you need to make this. Some of the gals upped the size to a 6 1/2 in 9 patch, but it gave more of a Boston Commons look to the finish. I wanted more of a smooth bloom, so stuck with the smaller ones.
