I use the backing as binding all the time. I make Crib quilts and Quilts for the Wounded. Just make your lining 2 inches larger all around, then when you finished quilting, tacking, etc. Press the edges, both front and back, turn over like bias, and stitch. I do the crib quilts binding by hand and the Quilts for the Wounded on the machine.
