I do whatever I darned well feel like. People like my quilts, but they only go to family members for the most part, are not going in a show.
I have been machine-sewing both sides of my binding, do not make bias binding, nor do I do that angled seam for my bindings. I rarely pre-wash, and don't miter my borders. I double-fold over my fabric when I cut it.
I also mixed washed and unwashed fabrics because I used to prewash everything...
