Don't try to use your ironing board for this. Throw a blanket over your table. It'll make it easier.
I have used Sharon's method many times now and find it to be the easiest. Gluing the binding on is so helpful, and you don't have to mess with pins. You can either hand stitch or machine sew down the binding after you attach it on. I machine sew since I don't like to hand stitch. I just glue that into place too. I then finish off my binding with a decorative stitch to hide any flaws from sewing the binding down. The decorative stitch is very cute on baby quilts.
