I used regular binding on these. I thought that I was good at it. I almost pulled my hair out. I learned a new trick that I used on some placemats and now I love it.
I like a half inch binding, so I cut one inch strips. I sewed them to all four sides and then sewed all four sides to back, turned and quilted. See them here [url]http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-100610-1.htm[url] It is faux binding and it is my go to technique now for small projects.
