Anybody have any ideas about a quick way to bind?
The "fastest" way is to just serge the final edge with a close stitch. Other than that, I go to the bias tape section of the notions department and find that quilt binding -- it's cotton, the same fabric as bias tape; it's folded and ready to apply. The fold is not exactly in half -- with the wider part for the back of the quilt. Pin in place, and then stitch on the top side of the quilt. Done. You can either miter the corners or do each side separately -- which I find easier.
