From left to right, the organza ribbons are lavender with a white/rainbow shiny edging, turquoise with a turquoise/rainbow shiny edging, and white with no edging. I'm not sure about the shiny edging, B picked these out for me, but if I don't like them I can always run over the edge with stem stitch, hopefully easier than running over raw organza edges with satin stitch! The quilt I picked out as an example is darker than what I'd be doing, but I felt it needed something with similar curves to get some idea of the effect of using the organza for borders.
If I were to do this, how would it relate to the binding? If I were to go for a ribbon with no edging (or embroider over the edging), I could put binding just at the edge of the ribbon in the usual fashion. Beaded picot edging might be nice but would take forever.
