I would also probably put a border around it, just so the edges wouldn't be on the bias.
Yes, I used jelly rolls and cut the strips so they were square, which was 4.5" as others have pointed out. I didn't struggle at all with the bias edges. If I remember correctly (I made this quilt a long time ago) I starched the outer edges before attaching the binding. Starching helps no matter what you do to finish the quilt.

Thank you! My oldest son (25) actually claimed it as his. He likes it because "the colors are soft and summery".
