I don't like stitching it to the back either, but I am also not good at machine stitching so I don't do that either. I will stitch the binding to the front and then leave it for awhile. Then I will get tired of looking at the quilt just sitting there and the only thing that needs done is the binding sewn on that I will go ahead and take the time to do it! Its not even like it really takes me a long time to do it, I just don't like doing it. I think it is hand sewing in general. However I was thinking about making myself a challenge for next year. Every other month I HAVE to spend the whole month hand sewing, whether it be piecing a quilt (maybe finish that GMFG I started last year) or just doing binding. However that is still eight and a half months away, plenty of time to change my mind. :)
