Default "Retro" Request Runner

Some of you may remember me asking advice on how to piece this. It is a housewarming gift for a friend who asked me to do a small table runner that matched her curtains. Not my regular style, but heck, I'll try anything once.

I decided I was never going to be able to piece this so did fused applique and satin stitched all the edges. I used a projector to put the image up on the wall so I could trace the shapes and then trace them onto fabric that had Steam a Seam Lite 2 on it. It's a bit, um...organic... in spots.

I am going to bind it with the beige.
Do you think I need to quilt inside the blue and if so, what would you put in there?
