Thanks everyone for your ideas!!! I may just do a stitch in the ditch so that it does not take away from the pinwheels. I can't wait to attempt this one. I have been looking for the perfect backing and think I have decided on it. Making the topper was easy, the choices are always the hardest!

I would use a good batting like warm and natural -- baste good and then do a stitch in the ditch quilting.
with the warm and natural you can quilt about every 6" and make it sturdy for washing. I might
use a nice border binding to make the colors pop

Binding is a Batik - dark green, really looks good when I hold it up to the topper.
Salisaquilter, thank you for your suggestions, they are much appreciated!

Great looking quilt, I also love the colors. I think you could tie it or sew in the ditch and it will look great.
