Hi I'm a new quilter. I have a question about binding a quilt. Can you bind a quilt with the back by just wrapping it around to the front and sewing it down from the front?

welcome to our group you will love it here. you can use the back, I use binding for most of mine, tho I have only made four so far and am onto my fifth so I am still new to quilting and loving every minute of it, even when I have to use the ripper tool,

Hi I live in ILLINOIS and just finished a top to make a small quilt. The pattern is disappearing ninepatch. I hada piece of fabric about 2" larger than the top and it looked like it would be easy to just use it for the back and wrap it to the front for the binding. I'd never heard anyone doing it,and those I asked about it didn't know. So I got a reply so quick from an experienced quilter and she said yes it was a way to do it. I'm so excited. Can't wait to get started. My family is leaving this evening for a week vacation. My mind is going to be somewhere else occasionally,....thinking of my quilt waiting for me at home. Ha. This is so neat. I will chat in a week when I return home.
