*snort*...still a theory but goes something like this:

Going to cut my fabric for binding but cut it wider than I normally would. Then I am going to turn it into piping. Then I will open the piping, take one side and fold and press a 1/4" seam the length of the piping...this will be the finished edge on the right side of the quilt.

Open the binding, with the right side facing the back of the quilt I would line up the single raw edge with the edge of the quilt and sew around. Fold the binding/piping over and sew around the front of the quilt on the 1/4" fold.

I will have to experiment to see how much wider to cut my fabric. It might be more durable to cut it wide enough that the raw edges could both be folded in half to the inside giving it the double thickness....

It may be that I need to go back and top stitch or "sew in the ditch" around the applied pipping to keep it in place...like I said it is all a theory but I don't know why it can't work.
