The seams were not pretty underneath, but along the top, the puffed parts hid the seams nicely. You could start with pairs and sew the two open sides together first, so you don't have to worry about seams not catching as you go along.

For the pillow, I made a backing that consisted of two overlapping pieces so I could stuff the pillow inside the cover, but for a blanket I would probably use the birthing method. I think that would be easier than trying to get a binding to work.
