I was told by the quilt police that this method http://www.lorettaalvarado.com/binding.htm was the lazy "easy" way to do quilt binding. I think that it is a sensible way to bind a quilt especially if it is just a quilt to love and use. This isn't the method that I would use on DD's heirloom wedding quilt but it definitely works fine on the quilt kids drag to sleepovers and to camp. Different methods suit different quilts.
