It seems like we all have our own method...mine is similar to Eva Knight...except after i sew the finished, quilted blocks together right sides together - i press the seams open and clip out the batting as close to the seam as i can. I then make a 2.75 inch strip into a folded binding type strip. I lift one of the seam allowances and glue tack the raw edge of the binding strip under the seam allowance - butting the raw edge up against the seam. On that same side i then stitch (machine usually) right next to the outer edge of the seam allowance. Once stitched, i press the "binding type strip" over, thus covering both the seam allowances and hand stitch down. It really does not add noticeable bulk - and from the front all you have is an extra "quilt line" showing.
