I definitely do not like the idea of the satin stitching on the edges - especially if you want a floating look. I think it would make it look clunky. (You don't have it made yet, so I feel "safe" in saying it now. :-)
You could maybe rig sort of a "kite frame" for the back and sew pockets on the back for the frame ends and hang it from that.

Satin stitch is out, that much I know. I did just a satin stitch around a square on a tree skirt. (a class I took) I didn't like doing that at all. I could just imagine trying it on something this big. Ugh!
The quilt shop lady that helped pick out the fabrics said she would help me with a bias edging. I still like the ideal of what I call the pillowcase method, turning, as well. If anyone comes up any other ideals, I'm open. I still have the bottom half to do.
