I would probably be laughed out of any guild or show bymy bindings.
Do you account for how wide the binding is and add additional batting and backing around the edge ? I think most quilt patterns I've used have assumed a 1/4" seam to attach the binding, where if you had a larger seam, to account for a wider binding and to be sure your binding is "full", it would stitch over some of the design along the edges.
