Any of your options would work. I think my choice would be to do the narrow fold to front binding with the green.

Like the flange idea too and can do a 2 colored binding sing 1" for front and 1 1/2 for other piece.

Sometimes a wallhanging does not need a binding. Can be distracting IMHO. Here is what I use in those art type items.

Have you "auditioned" different fabric colors/choices?
I'm one of those needs to be weighted with a darker border.
NO MATTER what you choose to do, it's beautiful. Great work!

I'm not sure it needs any binding at all -- maybe depends on where it's going to go? I wouldn't mind there being a binding but I like it just as is.

Exceptional work!
