Default The satin like fabric ruffle is what I planned to try!

I too recommend a ruffling foot. What i have had the most luck with it the birthing style to get the binding on the quilt. Once the I put the backing face up on the floor. Then i pin the ruffle on - facing in. Then I lat the quilt top face down and use the pins that I had in the ruffle to pin all of the layers together
I like your idea of using satin like fabric for the ruffle. The satin like ruffles shown on your quilt look to be softer than ruffles using quilting cotton. Did you quilt your quilt top first before doing the birthing method and after birthing, go back and top stitch around the quilt edges to keep the ruffle flat?
Can you please share what fabric you used as it looks like it washes well without wrinkles.

Thank you!
