Default How can I finish this quilted pillow? Please, help

Dear friends,

I've been making a scrappy quilted pillow cover for a child.

I usually quilt only the front, and build the back with 2 pieces of fabric with a zipper, then I bind.

But this time I wanted to use more scraps so I decided to quilt both sides of the pillow cover (what I was thinking?), and now I don't know how to finish it.

I have 2 quilted panels: One for the front and one for the back.

If I put a zipper, I can't sew the binding... but if I want to bind, then I can't sew a zipper and the owner won't be able to wash the cover

Common sense tells me to choose the zipper and forget the binding but I really want to sew a contrasting binding around the pillow cover because I see it 'plain'...

Is there a way to do what I want?
