Meredith, have you auditioned the dark green fabric for the binding? That might work well.
Also, the left over fabric is going into the backing, so that lovely dark green is going to be in the quilt too! I plan to square the remaining pieces, lay them out, arrange them, then sew them together. I'm sure I have enough to cover at least a 1/3-1/2 of the back.That should cover the center section nicely. :D
Since this girl is so hefty, I am going to use a lighter weight batting, probably the one you posted that is in your quilt! :D

The red (I posted) has tiny cream stars. I found some more of that fabric online yesterday and ordered it! It was on sale too, I was surprised I found any red because this line came out over a year ago. :D

Warning - it has a sort of sticky feel when you first bring it out of the bag. It goes away after a little while. It's not sticky enough to glue the top & batting down like spray basting adhesive would. It's just a funny feeling. I basted with basting thread. I really like hand quilting through it - almost like there isn't any batting there, but it does puff up nicely on the applique pieces.

i see it, but it doesn't light up for me to open it, or have an option. when i edited a kite. sorry. i must be doing something wrong. i just blew thru this, without learning lots, cause i was just copying what you ladies said to do. i even found the the measurements for the strips between the blocks today. but on my software, or on any place else i looked, couldn't find it. found it on page 380, thereabouts, where YOU were re telling someone about it.
