First I think it's a cute fabric. I looked at your original post on this quilt. I understand why you went with the duck fabric, (well, my thinking) and maybe because of the colors in the duck fabric. The 'green' umbrella pull (?). My 'suggestion' would be if you have to use the duck then use it for binding. BUTTTT This is your quilt. I am curious what your backing is. Can you use that instead of the duck?
