I either pillowcase it like you did or sandwich everyting toegether, stitch about 1 1/2 in. around it then fringe the edges.
Had the binding stitches ripped out and the binding was loose? If it was a store-bought quilt, the manufacturers sometimes use chain stitching that rips out easily by just pulling a thread. That would not happen with a hand made quilt. Would it?
