Your doll is absolutely beautiful, nicely done. I've used the same method you used, even on baby quilts that weren't too big, then I stitched about 1/2" from the edge so it looked like binding. I use it a lot on table runners and placemats as well. The first time I tried it I was making 25 small wall hangings for a family reunion and I did not want to put on binding, this was much faster and nobody noticed.
