I'm thinking about doing the pillowcase method on my next kids quilt and see if that looks ok.
I quilted two charity quilts and used the pillowcase method, then I ran about 1/4 to 1/2 inch "seam" around the outside edge. I think it looked fine and with the seam just inside the outside edge it resembled being bound. I certainly don't think I would use it on some of the fancy quilts I see, but I don't make anything so fancy that the pillowcase method wouldn't be ok on.
