I think the grey is perfect as a neutral setting for this great star.
When you say red binding, are you thinking of the dark pink/ magenta from the center of your star or an actual red?
IMHO, I think a magenta color, like near the star center would be awesome or as a second choice the same grey if you have enough.
Your star is terrific.

As far as the batting goes, I think the 80/20 will do a great job for this quilt. I've done several Lone Star quilts, some with cotton, some with 80/20, and I found that the 80/20 seemed to give more definition to my quilting.
Ooohhh!! I'm jealous of the Singer!! I've not used one in a long time (my grandmother had one), and that was before my quilting days, but the older ones (like your find) are all work-horses!! I would definitely practice my FMQ a bit on it before trying to quilt your Lone Star, but I think in the long run, you'll be very happy with it!!
