I put french/double fold binding on some of mine. Love it.

I second that.

The first place a quilt begins to wear out is at the edge. Therefore, French-fold binding is the preferred method so that if your quilt begins to wear, the edges are still protected.

Eag, you might want to try sewing 2 strips of matching bias together to get the double fold. Press it out flat, stitch and re-fold on the seam line into French-fold. That way you'd get the protection & use your wife's gift at the same time! Just a thought.
