I hand stitch mine to the back. Cut at 2 1/5" wide, fold in half wrong sides together and press. Sew on the front with raw edges of binding and quilt lined up and sew 1/4" from raw edge. Sew to within 1/4" of corner and remove from machine. Fold the binding back on itself at a 45 degree angle and begin sewing 1/4" from next corner. Repeat the process around all 4 corners. Slip the tail of your beginning end into the ending end about 2" (there are some good tutes on the board of making this process easy) and finish machine sewing. Trim batting 1/2" from sewn seam (leaves 1/4" of the border and an extra 1/4" of just batting) to fill binding. Fold over and start hand stitching. I only use 2-4 pins to hold that at a time instead of pinning the entire binding. Much less pokey on my arms/legs that way!
